Thank you, Chriss Horner 🙏 for doing a video coverage about Bini. As far as I know this was something most Eritreans were waiting for. Now here we are Chris doing a heavenly job on Biniam Girmay. Thanks again 🙏
👊🦋
Not just Eritreans, but I get it! Excited for this one.
Chris, we know you love talking about tactics. Perhaps a future video can be on the state of tactics in the professional peloton? It seems like the riders these days are so calculated in knowing exactly how much power they can put down for how long but tactically many seem to come up short.
You are basically describing exactly what this channel is..
Totally. Was thinking more big picture than any specific race. Are there any reasons why tactics seem to be consistently neglected? Is this on the riders, the directors, etc.?
@@lightw1thoutheatthat’s a very good question
@@lightw1thoutheat May be simply that these riders are following team orders, whether it's the right choice at the moment or not. Hindsight is always 20/20. Also, analysis needs to factor in fatigue, too. You can't simply do whatever you want when you lack the power.
I like that. Could be a good video 👊🦋
Two things I learned from this video, Biniam is missing Chris Horner as a training coach, and 7-11 on his training rides.
Dear Chris,
You got the quality analyzing the best Cyclists. This excellent analysis could help Biniam; because I see it as fed back to Bini. For us the fans of Bini we appreciate your analysis because it helps as infirmation. Your are a genuine as a professional cyclist and as well as a journalist. I always enjoy your expertise and comments on the professional Cyclists. I can't wait the coming big competitions.
Thanks Chris
🌷
You had me looking at videos of Asmara. The place looks great and you can feel the high altitude attitudes coming out, like in Colombia.
BG said he lost 10kg over the Winter to improve his cycling. This sounds like a big mistake. He sprints across the road often and there will be bumps, so why make yourself tinier. Last time he ran into Jonathan Milan, he had to check and drop from 1st to 4th within 20m.
From an amateur POV, BG needs gym work and a better lead out.
Nice take on Bini. Good insights to remember when following his racing over the next few weeks.
👊🦋
Don't forget he also crashed in San Sebastian last year and bashed his hip pretty hard, recovering from that wrecked the latter part of his '23 season and may have effected his training over the winter as well
Certainly will 👊🦋
Today's crash was terrible, too. Seems like nothing broken but definitely bad.
Chris, Geat analysis and also nice advice to Bini. I always love to hear your analysis.
Now, I would like to hear your analysis again about Biniam, after he makes a hatrick in TDF, and as you see he is about to win Green jersey, only two stages left. This time he is out sprinting the great sprinters and also we have seen beating Jasper in some sprints especially when Jasper has no leadout.
And about spending a day in a week in church, Ofcourse you are right it can take a lot of time of his training. However, on the other hand it also gives sprituality power on mentality, belief that God's our strength, belief and also gives discipline and respect over the other's.
Am eagerly waiting your analysis from Eritrea.
Thank you Chris.
Chris has a great way of contextualizing the life of a pro rider and how it can affect his level. Like I would have never considered how religious service may impact a riders form in that way but it makes perfect sense
I personally believe Bini needs to focus more on being a classics style rider and less on his pure sprint. He seems to try and compete in the bunch sprints the whole time but he doesn't have that massive kick like Merlier or the positioning skills of Jasper and he doesn't have a Danny van Poppel leadout
I think if he goes down the path of MVDP that's where he'd find the most success imo. Short explosive climbing ability, cobbles and sprinting for the win from reduced groups
It’s really hard to even give up a day week. I remember my kids mom always thought it was no big deal for me to give up time on Saturday and Sunday for the kids m and then Thursday came it was far enough from Sunday so there’s no reason to be out training big that day either. 😂👊🦋
Chris, what amazises me about Biniam Girmay he is always happy when he gets 3rd or 4th. I dont know why.
He ain’t happy for 2nd 3rd. He always kept his cool whenever he loses.
23 years old still. Lots of UCI points. 🤔🦋👍
I get Intermarche posts in my feed and those are always optimistic, like, hey everybody, our top guy got 21st today, woohoo! A bit of an exaggeration there but not much and I cheer for Bini and his team.
You were talking recently, Chris, about whether Jasper would stay or go with Alpecin and Bini faced that choice a year or so ago with Intermarche. And Bini opted to keep dancing with the team that brought him to the big dance and I was pleased to see that, his loyalty to his team and teammates and sponsors. And I'd imagine that in his community, his day-to-day, he gets respect and space as, indeed, it is draining to be a public figure all the time, people gotta back off for the sake of a celebrity's sanity.
Nice job man! I like your perspectives, and hats off to your accomplishments!!!
Thanks 👊🦋🙏
Always appreciate your take on things Chris, even when I don’t fully agree, I always learn something. Obviously Bini is a great rider, but I see him as more of a Bling Matthews type than a Mads Pederson type.
I have Bini a little behind Mads still so you and I are on the exact same page for now but I think Bini gets better and then you and I are part ways. 😂👊🦋
is/was matthews strong, top 10, at cobble/bergs classics rider? feels like comparison with mads makes more sense definetely when you add weather: bini doesn't perform in rainy and cold conditions
Excellent coverage. Keep it up!
👊🦋
The problem is not Bini it's more with his team, in his Volta win we all have seen the team work and the way they release him, those top class sprinters team which are dominating the podium have four or three riders with their main man in the last two kilometres and Bini in most of his games you see him suffering changing trains and he is finishing his energy before he starts his sprint or finds himself in uncomfortable space and yet brings some success for the team, if they can assign four riders in the last three kilometres to protect him and set him go we could have seen him dominating the sport
He needs a good lead out man or team to position him at the last 10 to 5k’s of print finish
the thing Bini can do that Mads P. can't is the slightly sloping finish, if you get beyond that 5 or 6% Mads can't sprint, but Bini can
Excellent analysis: i see biniam always trying to be less risky and this sport is far from that. He also tried to avoid the wind and he is behind the big teams. Sometimes you have to be at the front and test the waters.
Thank you Chris he just needs teams help
👊🦋
Thanks for the deep dive on Girmay and the talk about training strategy!
Hypothetical: VdP, Van Aert, Bini and Micheal Matthews are off the front at Roubaix, 15km to go, 45s to a group of Pedersen, Stuyvesant, Ganna and Pidcock, and then bang! the two big guys both flat, out of the front group or flat. Can the two lightweight sprinters keep away? Who do you favour between them if they do, would it be smarter for these two to sit up?
Amazing analysis you are my morning coffees let's go Biniam ❤
Chris, you are always the best! Your words of wisdom in cycling are golden. I hope the sort director and trainers of Intermarché listen to your comments.
Thanks for coverage chris.
👊🦋
Great breakdown… 🍻
🍻👊🦋
Chris I’m proud of you 👍
🦋👍👊
❤ NOW A Winner on the 1st flat stage of Tour de FRANCE
Second day wear Green JERSEY
Third day increased his points
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wouldn't it be great if another player - or another set of players - was/were to mix up the orchester of the established guys. I would love for Bini to be part of this next generation. Thanks, Chris for the best coverage out there!
Chris, So when he is in his home country, is he training and resting at altitude? Do you think he would benefit from a block of training at near sea level and rest of the time (sleep & eat etc) at altitude?
Bini doesn’t live that far from the sea if the article is correct so it would easy to do. I would like to see all of his training though before I changed any of it because the article only covered Sundays but one day week is still too many for my liking. 🤔🦋👊
@@ChrisHornerCyclingIt's only 110 KM from Asmara, the Capital 2300 m above sea level, to Massawa port city 0 m above sea level.
Traffic is not a problem there. The coest gets too hot though, my suggestion is may be to bring his familly closer to him, it seems hard to be away from his family being a young dad.
Great coverage Chris 😀 Bini problem I think his team need to fit with him.
Certainly would help. 🤔🦋👍
Brilliant !
3ATGL first 👊🦋🏆🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Chris it would be awesome if you do a group ride or maybe even a race anf commentate on your own race tactics that would be sick
Thanks chris you doing great video All the time
Thank you Chris! You the best. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for the comment. When I woke up I answered your comment and then went down stairs only to see to the article on Bini. Luckily the article was very informative so that I could piece together what could be happening with Bini. 👊🦋
@@ChrisHornerCycling I am Eritrean 🇪🇷 living in San Diego, CA. Bini is our hope on the WT races at the moment. What do you think about Eritrean Cyclists? Can Natnael Tesfazion win any Grand Tour GC? Do you think he got it in him?
Hey Chris... i thought it was a bit weird that it seemed like he totally blew out at E3. With a few kms to go he was sitting around 5th by the time he crossed the line was 19th. Something is not right.
he said in an interview he was empty, food. i think he still struggles with cold and rain.
Interesting logo on Chris' jersey on the right side of the screen. Any intel on that jersey?
The black jersey was literally a team jersey which was Illuminate. 👊🦋
@@ChrisHornerCycling Cool, thanks 👊 Wikipedia: "Team Illuminate grew out of the 2015 Airgas-Safeway team that included 2013 Vuelta a España winner Chris Horner."
excellent insight 👍
👍🦋
My Eritrean boy is just happy to ride bike in Europe 😅
Yep. It’s fun being a pro in the biggest races in the world 🌎 👊🦋
Not only for fun. He is there to Win!
E3 actually looked unexpectedly good until he had collapsed at the end. So something to build on. He has never been at the level yet to beat the very best when at their very best in a tough race. That is the next step for him to take. He had a bad year and issues last year, so he is coming from quite far.
Also, as you say he has so far also been the guy that follows the wheels and does not work or attack. He even got MVDP annoyed in that Giro, and MVDP is really used to guys not working with him.
I liked seeing a young rider that knows to sit on when he doesn’t have the power to match the best. At 23 year of age it will fun to see if Bini and progress just a bit more. 👊🦋
@@ChrisHornerCycling I agree it is good to be sensible. But I also think that at a young age it is good to race, which will help you actually get stronger and smarter.
nice as always Chris
Wow. That was a lot of great analysis with very few details to start with.
Chris.....the "he spends up alot of time in church" caught me off guard. Im laughing it hard man you are funny.
For me it is because he doesnt do hard training to prep himself. I grew up 30kms south of Asmara. If he does serious training after church, it could help alot.....
Hehehe. That’s what the article said. I was laughing when I read it also. It was even funnier when you read that Bini’s DS is trying to convince him to ride on Sunday just a little bit. Church and training don’t always mix but what I really thought is how about Sunday races. 😂👊🦋
@@ChrisHornerCycling the Crits in Asmara are usually on Sundays. And if Bini or other riders want to go to church the service is early morning and they can go to training afterwards. But Bini seems to mismanage his training hours. I went to highschools few blocks away from Daniel Teklehaymanot's home and what Dany used to do was take a quick stop by the church for like 10mins early in the morning then go to races or training. No late mornings.
Brilliant 👌
I think the Problem or his Genius is that he rides as like a pure Sprinter which gave him his stage race Victorys, rarely in the Wind, woeking as lwss as possible . But i think this is what hinders him from more classics Victorys. He won Gent wevelgem out of an attack and not field sprint where he is outclassed by the pure sprinters. If he can anticipate moves he would always Look strong out of a small Group.
Great Analysis 👏
CH- can u come “bac to Cali” & do Alviso with NorCal cycling (yuotuber) at Alviso? Give us a tactics breakdown afterwards!!
I don’t think the wife is up for me taking more vacation after I was already in SoCal for 9 weeks. But if you can get her to give the ok I’m up for it. 😂👊🦋
Chris- tell her it’s business. Not a “vacation”. Message NorCal cycling and hook it up! I’m sure it’ll be good for both the channels.
Hi Chris ,Your video resolution is 4K, it is recommended to change it to 1080p
You can change it on your end very easily. Lower corner. 👊🦋
Realist Chris
👊🦋
Thanks so much for bin comments ❤
He got abused by Jasper at last TDF and let Jasper got away with it, multiple time!
Exactly. That move was a bit too much from Jasper. 😬🦋
All things are possible, but I don't think he's got the legs this spring.
🤞🦋👊
He has got alot springs for this.watch full game the vedios
@bethrenaud6881- 👈What ? Has no legs funny, 👉Here comes Tour de FRANCE
Stage3 ,1st sprint first win stage 4, Green JERSEY, every stage in points,two times second ,stage8,win, stage 9,9th,stage 10,2nd stage 12 3rdstage win the only rider to win 3 stages up to 12th stage 363 point LEAD WITH green JERSEY on back, 86 points to the second place, and remember philipsen is last years winner with vanderpoel world champion leading him with best leadout, wake up we are taking the green JERSEY to ASMARA 👈💚💚👕👕💚👈💢💥💣
B.G. can win, but don't give him a bottle of champagne with a cork in it.
Safety first. 🍾👀😉😬🦋🤞
I am learning that Eritrea is failing Biniam and Eritrean cyclists. Mechanics should travel to Eritrea. Unfortunately, Eritrea is the 5th most difficult country to travel to.
Hello mr Horner, Long time fan here! As a retired historian, and cycling fan, i like your show, good blend off anekdotes from the "old days"and humoristisk views on yesterdays races and tactics, we all need a chuckle once in a while!
I do have a question on todays show though.......You say Biniam and Mads are alike? Take Strava, take kg/W, take Wins, take races over a whole year, take position in the peleton take training, Bini does altitude camp Mads doesnt etc etc etc etc, mr Homer they are nothing alike! Not even close!
Best regards A. William aka the weather person;0)
I’m only covering their racing style. When both are on form. Both climb and both sprint. Bini I said is not there yet but he’s 23 and will be soon enough. Even mads wasn’t Mads at 23. 🤔🦋👊
Geezer talking!
Thank you, Chris! You read my mind. I have been meaning to comment saying we need a video on Bini!
You got one 👊🦋
He'll win again and it wins will come in spurts, calm down!
No doubt 🦋👍
When Bini wins a race, don't let him open the champagne ffs...😅
👊🦋
Bini ❤❤❤
I watched him in Middle East races and he was SO fast.. had legs to win almost all of those sprints... nothing wrong with his sprinting legs! It just looks like his positioning and timing is off... almost never seemed to be in the right position at the right time. That could be one of 3 things as I see it... 1) he's just lost some of that instinct and drive to get into position, 2) Anaerobic Capacity and Endurance not quite where he should be... and/or 3) as Chris says his team not sufficiently helping him get him into position.
I was actually wondering after watching MSR and Gent if the team had lost confidence in him after timing and positioning problems in Middle East??
Maybe Girmay tells Hugo he didn't have the legs, so get across if you can?
I don't think girmay has the power to say that with intermache like pogi and Mads have. Visk said they send page to be part of the break.
Would be better then for Bini to ride at the front with the other teams that were riding if he didn’t have the legs himself. If they catch the front two his teammates could attack then. 🤔🦋👊
I love your analysis, thanks bro❤🎉❤
He can do more if he found good teammates to lead out to the finish line but the team looks satsifiead wz top 10 reasult
Bini 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🇪🇷
Great talent indeed....only thing he needs to improve is his positioning....
👊🦋
You’re making a lot of assumptions and generalizations about him. Unless you know details about his life and training in Eritrea, you’re better off not commenting.
Did you read the article I posted along with the video in big white titles that couldn’t be missed 😜🦋
@@ChrisHornerCycling Apparently it could be missed. It's below the fold on mobile.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
He need a lot of support from his team. He is the great cyclist
That would help. 🤞🦋👊
Bini❤vidii❤🇪🇷t
How dare God interfere with training
We don’t need the invisible and the non-existent; only Chris, Garrett and the Butterfly Effect! 🦋👊
This is Biniams' LAST year to enter SuperStar status. There is talk about his being YOUNG, but . . . time is gaining against him!
He’s only 23 and has a multi year contract so he’s got a bit more time left. 🤔🦋👊
You are misinformed on some of the things you are saying. Otherwise, nice coverage.
Can't wait to watch this, but two stupid team mates getting caught doing slant eyes can't be helping?
He needs to change the team thay don’t work for him as m.pederson of alpecine they’re bunch of knuckleheads 🤣🤣🤣
Gent sure was badly played out. 😬🦋
I am trying hard but I can't think of any rider that would have been as overrated a Girmay. For the last few years, every time he was shown on TV he is mentioned every time. Sure, it would be great to get some African riders doing damage, but this is going too far.
That's u hearing his name irritating u he is top class from african continent and only black to wear silver in world champion beat him Vander poel wearing point classification in Italy 5 top 5 in 10 stage
Another bigot! You have a problem with his color!
Congratulations to Biniam for today's TdF stage win
NO he cant, he's bone LAZY and only win if he can benefit of all other doing THEIR part
Totally agree....he doesn't risk anything at anytime in races, he just surfs wheels until 300m out. His early promise is not bearing fruit. This can happen in "rags to riches" stories like his, he's made it to the top and landed the big contract, but now he's lost the drive to be the best version of himself unfortunately.
That is how it's done. No one will talk unless you win 😂@jonoharper4729
:)
👊🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
6:30 "Its a safe country, when we're talking about Africa".
Won't be so safe when Ethiopia decides they want some coastline and free access to the Suez Canal.
There is pretty safe from everything I looked up about the country. 🤔🦋👍
@Charlidillon. Do you think, that Eritrea are just like nothing and Ethiopia can make us unsafe. Nonsense😂. Ethiopia is very unsafe, and how can they defeat any country
Moronic statement!
He doesn’t have a good team, they ain’t organised
Gent was really bad. 😬🦋👍
My analysis is that Eddy Merx knocked up a pretty faced little Slovenia girl who then gave birth to a handsome and healthy little boy named Tadej Pogacar.
Probably right 👶😂🦋👊
That'll be a true Butterfly Effect!
He should start taking his turns at the front. Nothing special about him.
The sprinters avoid taking turns when ever possible😜. But he did pull at that ‘22 Gent win with the small group of riding to the finish line. 👊🦋
Jealous! 😂
First?
Bam 2nd 🥲😜👊🦋 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Beating Wout in a sprint is not spectaculiar Chris, Wout was never a real sprinter ! !
Exactly 4:37 He doesnt have the power or form.. i dont get the Girmay Hipe ..
So wait and see....👈 BIG bini things are coming
Whats he missing? Cycling heritage 😂. Will never win a monument😊
As Italy’s former colony, Eritreans have a 100 yr history of racing! 😂
Never say never
there is a bounty out for bini by all teams.... even his coach pulled him from competition at the heights of his form... they used the champaign cork incident as an excuse to get him out of competition that year... bini cannot be the face of the mafia cycling world... other teams been assisting in boxing him out..at the end of it all he will just be another good african rider..OK bini we gave you your black history month moment " the first black to win at a grand tour". how dear you bini to beat vander pol? who are you bini to be in the same space as jasper? who are you bini to have your face all over the giro italia sprints? someone put a leash on bini please, so the manager got that call from the giro organizers and it was over. NOBODY ON HIS TEAM WILL RIDE FOR HIM!!! HOPE YOU ALL GET THE MESSAGE
It's all a big conspiracy! I think the same people stopping BG are the same people who make the people in line ahead of me at the grocery store really slow and needy... or maybe he's just not that good, better than me for sure, but yanno...
Come on bro STOP capping!!
What would he be doing if Europeans didn't create sport cycling?
@@clovergrass9439 my very point is keep riding for the money but dont expect to be their hero or a hero
@@alm0st-man991i agree with you. My point is too many of his kind are filling Europe.
