The Tour de France 🇫🇷 is taking place and the winner of stages 3, 8, and 12 is Biniam Girmay, the 24-year-old, from Eritrea! 🇪🇷
A hat trick is major and he continues to ride with power, but it's been his sprints that have turned Girmay into a superstar.
The Tour is steeped in history and Girmay is the first black African rider, and the only rider in this year's race, who continues to impress as he climbs his way to the top.
Unfortunately, cycling has been plagued with a lack of diversity, especially Africans, due to the costs of equipment, the lack of sponsors to cover training and travel expenses.
Needless to say, Girmay is opening the door for many more black Africans to follow.
