Biniam Girmay has signed a new long-term deal with Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert through to the end of the 2026 season, his team has announced.

The 22-year-old Eritrean joined the Belgian squad midway through the 2021 season after leaving the troubled French Delko squad and went on to make history at the Leuven World Championships, taking silver in the U23 road race.
