After finishing both the Giro and Vuelta in his first year at Lampre-Merida, 24 year old Ethiopian Tsgabu Grmay is on the team’s long list for the 2016 Tour de France.
"I've done the Vuelta and Giro, which was a really good experience and now I am looking to do the Tour de France, that's my biggest goal this year, I hope I will make it. I am excited and ready to fight,” Grmay told Cyclingnews at the Tour Down Under.
August will also allow Grmay to ride the Olympics, which he qualified for by virtue of being the reigning champion in his national road race and time trial. He says he is really looking forward to the event.
"I already qualified for the Olympics, and I am looking forward to it also. Just to qualify for the Olympics was a big thing for me and I did it, I am excited to go the Olympics with all our runners," he said. "It's really great for me, it's something special for our country that will send cyclist and runners to the Olympics."
