Veni, Vidi, Bini!

This year, you will be hearing more about the cooperation of the Force brand and the Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux team! First, there was Jan Hirt and his success in Oman and now we have seen another huge racing triumph. On Sunday, March 27, the young 21-year-old Eritrean rider Biniam Girmay of the Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux team won the famous spring classic Ghent-Wevelgem, becoming the first African winner of the World Tour classic.

In the final part of this long race, Biniam managed to break into the leading group of four competitors led by Christoph Laport, where he was then the strongest in the last meters of the final sprint and passed the finish line first.

"I have never imagined that I could win this race because I know how hard it is to race in Flemish classics without any experience. I want to thank my team for their trust. I can count on their support in every single race. The instructions from the team car were also very valuable. Only in the final meters did I start believing in victory. I started my sprint with 250 meters to the finish, closed my eyes, and gave everything I had left. I don't even realize what happened yet, I just became the first African rider to win a classic!”
