“That’s great. This really means a lot to me. Winning in the Tour de Suisse for the first time and then in front of so many fans, it’s amazing,” Girmay said.

“Whether I’m going to party with the fans? There are still six stages to ride, so the race is not over yet. I am now focusing on the next few days before celebrating with my fans.”
