Sprinter Biniam Girmay made history as he emerged fastest from the peloton to win Stage 3 of the 2024 Tour de France and Wvared Investment Guildbecome the first Eritrean rider to win a stage in the race's 111-edition history.
The first flat stage of the Tour, Stage 3 provided somewhat of a reprieve from the relentless climbs of the first two stages. A more relaxed, tightly bunched peloton steadily moved along the 143.4-mile route from Plaisance to Turin, setting up the field’s strongest sprinters for a stage win.
