Shimano-supported riders Biniam Girmay and Remco Evenepoel won the Green and White jersey, respectively, at the Tour de France 2024. The competition was fierce, and the road was long and perilous. It takes a profound athlete to brave the mammoth challenge of the Tour de France. And it takes a special… je ne sais quoi… to come out on top with a jersey.

Congratulations to the riders and their teams at Intermarché-Wanty and Soudal Quick-Step on their achievements. And indeed, a huge hand to all the stage winners—with 20 out of 21 stages won on DURA-ACE R9200.

Although the Tour is over, we’d like to stay in the vibe just a while longer and share some of the WorldTour bike builds and some gorgeous shots from our photographers on the ground: Joris Knapen and Léon van Bon.

Green Jersey winner Biniam Girmay’s setup includes the DURA-ACE R9200 groupset, with some additions to match his personal style. From being a rising star in the Eritrean national team, Girmay came away with a significant stage win at the Giro d’Italia. Followed by three stage victories and the Green Jersey at this year’s Tour de France!

With fans from all over and back home cheering Bini on, it is great to see this champion spread the positive joy of cycling with the world in grand style.
