Biniam Girmay: 1st black African to win Grand Tour stage abandons Giro d'Italia after cork incident [View all]
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.
