Biniam Girmay wins the first sprint of the 2024 Tour de France! The resurrection ofEritrean on the long avenue of Turin, in the third stage of the Grande Boucle and last with arrival in Italian territory. For the Intermarché – Wanty rider, this is his first career victory at the Tour, as well as a historic first for his team. Girmay’s imperious sprint that leaves no escape for anyoneand it beats clearly Fernando Gaviria (Movistar Team), second, and Arnaud De Lie (Lotto Dstny), third.
A day of total relaxation for the groupdeparted from Piacenza this morning shortly before midday to tackle the stage with the most mileage of these three weeks. Timid attempts in the first part to take away a breakaway but Alpecin – Deceuninck and Lidl-Trek decided to keep the race closed right from the start. Lots of smiles and lots of chatter in the platoon, in a dead calm broken only by the valiant and courageous attempt to Fabien Grellier (TotalEnergies) ai -70 km. His action was obviously controlled by the group, which returned to the transalpine without worries and was ready for the sprint.
A sprint inevitably conditioned by the fall within three kilometers, which messed up the cards for the sprinters’ teamswith a very unlucky Alpecin following the problem for Mathieu Van der Poel she was also deprived of Jasper Philipsen. He only arrives at the foot of the podium Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek)one of the top two favorites on the eve, while completing the top-5 Dylan Groenewegen (Team Jayco AlUla). There is also Italy in the top ten with eighth place Davide Ballerini (Astana Qazaqstan Team). Richard Carapaz finishes 14th and takes the Yellow Jersey, his declared goal on the eve and with Tadej Pogacar willingly giving it to him. Below is the order of arrival of the second stage of the Tour de France 2024.
