Girmay signs three-year contract with NSN Cycling Team

Biniam Girmay's future has finally been confirmed. After months of rumours, the Eritrean is heading to the newly-rebranded NSN Cycling Team for the next three years.

"We are incredibly excited to welcome Biniam to NSN Cycling Team," said team GM Kjell Carlström. "Not only will 2026 mark a new chapter for the team, but it also represents one for Biniam and I couldn’t think of a better time to embark on a new chapter together.

"Biniam represents everything we love about cycling. His talent is obvious, but his humility and drive are what make him an extraordinary cyclist. From the first conversation, it was clear he shares our vision both on and off the bike and I have no doubt he will be a fantastic fit and will be a leader of our team, inspiring our riders and the entire cycling community."

After four and a half years with Intermarché-Wanty, Girmay joins the team previously known as Israel-Premier Tech during a turning point for the organisation that will race under a Swiss license from 2026. The history-making sprinter will play a key role in the team's new chapter.
