A son of Africa is won! For God be the glory! As Eritrean living abroad this is a great example for us as parents! We got another Jesse Owns! Representation matters!
Our hero , we eritreans proud of you.
Great interview with one of the best african athletes. What he has done for his sport. Just wow. And the 3rd TDF stage was the cherry on top. I love him.
I am always proud Bini not only by sport but by your confidence to speak English without fear frequently.
I am Eritrean , but I'm more happy for Africa ! To deep in at heart of the western occupied sport . Leading Africa to glory. I'm sure many Africans will follow .
You earned your respect Bini!!!!!! Wish you and your amazing team all the best🙏

Thank you a lot for sharing your cycling journey. Hang in. We are going to wait on the victory of the other tour From 🇪🇹

I think his a captain for his team now a day. It means his not only good in cycling but also in communication. As a team captain you need to communicate with your team cyclists and personal. Bini you are good not only in cycling but in money aspects. You are an idol for money Eritreans and in general for Africans..

He is amazing! Coming from another black cyclist! You inspire me! I'll love the day when black people winning in cycling and just doing this sport will be more normalized! Personally I do long distance cycling and pretty much biked most of the Canadian/USA east coast! from Toronto-MTL, MTL-NY, DC-Charlotte & Charlotte to Atlanta.

@@lutaayam I am absolutely astonished that you would have taken that view of what Black people can accomplish. Please don't ever buy into the narrative of what white people want to promote in their collective efforts to hold on to the power they have stolen. This is a big deal because it is the Tour De France, but we have not heard anything about Biniam Girmay has been winning on the cycling circuit for years, but this is the biggest game in the world, and He has done it again winning for the 2nd time and extended his lead for the Green Jersey.
