Tour de France 2024 Stage 5 Preview: Can Biniam Girmay Win Again At TDF?
The 2024 Tour de France Stage 5 will be the second sprint finish of this year's race. Biniam Girmay won the first sprint in Stage 3. Can he do it again?
Following the grueling climb up the Col du Galibier and into France, the sprinters once again take center stage in Stage 5 of the 2024 Tour de France on July 3.
The first sprint stage was historic, with sprint specialist Biniam Girmay winning and becoming the first Black rider to win a TDF stage. Girmay beat Fernando Gaviria of Colombia to win the stage.
During Stage 4, climbers dominated, and the General Classification favorite Tadej Pogacar won what FloBikes analyst Gregor Brown called the most challenging stage of the first week.
