Biniam Girmay: 1st black African to win Grand Tour stage abandons Giro d'Italia after cork incident
Biniam Girmay has been forced to abandon the Giro d'Italia one day after making history as the first black African winner of a Grand Tour stage.
Eritrean Girmay won stage 10 on Tuesday but went to hospital after popping a prosecco cork into his left eye while celebrating on the podium.
Despite later returning to enjoy the victory with his team-mates, he was unfit to make the start on Wednesday.
The Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert rider said he was "OK now" but needed to recover.
