On Monday, Eritrea’s Biniam Girmay became the first Black rider to win a Tour de France stage.
Girmay said his sprint win in the mostly flat third leg was “for all Africans.”
“We must be proud now. We are really part of the big races,” he said. “Now it’s our moment. It’s our time.”
Before the podium celebration, Girmay went over and greeted Eritrean fans waving their country’s green, red and blue flag.
