Biniam Girmay underwent a new medical screening in Belgium this Tuesday following the eye injury he sustained during the Giro d’Italia. The left eye of the Eritrean rider from Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux did not heal enough to resume training yet, but it is expected that this should be the case within the next ten days.
« I am feeling better but I am not able to ride my bike just yet. Fortunately, I will not have any after-effects and this makes me happy. I would like to thank the doctors for the good advice and my team for the support. I hope to be able to race soon and resume my race program after some rest at home in Asmara, as it was scheduled before the start of the season. I’ve been following the team in the Giro d’Italia and I hope my teammates will achieve more success! »
