Just reading about this Girmay guy, I didn't see him coming up the ranks at all. Amazing finish, it would be wonderful if he could rack up some results. It looks like Intermarche aren't sending him to the Tour unfortunately.Epic moment in the history of cycling at Ghent-Wevelgem in last 20 minutes!!!
Absolutely ecstatic for the guy.
And he slayed the Jumbo-Visma behemoth into the bargain.
A great day.

Oh yeah? As in not Aramaic? I know the Ethiopians use Aramaic, and I thought the Eritrean's did too because it looked similar to me. There's a huge Ethiopian and Eritrean community in DC area for some reason, there's shops with Aramaic shopfronts. Usually there's English translations alongside, but not always.EDIT: PS -
just realised ERITREA has it's own script which looks really cool.

yes - you are right.
I wasn't familiar with it and thought it looked cool. I didn't know if it was the same script used in Ethiopia.
yeah, I heard DC has a big Ethiopian community. do you get to hear Ethiopian music over there?
I remember listening to an Ethiopian record by a musician who lived in DC in the 80's.
oh no, wait, yeah, I wrote Aramaic. I meant to say Amharic. I was reading old religious stuff and I got them mixed up.yes - you are right.

I had some interactions with Moore on twitter several years ago. He was very decent. He sent me a signed copy of one of his books. Can't recall off-hand which one, but I thought it was a very nice gesture of him. More recently he went a bit pro-Sky and a little too defensive of obvious dopers. I lost a little bit of respect for him, but there was never any question he was one of the good ones. A superb writer too.only just heard this now -
Scottish cycling journalist Richard Moore died on monday aged 49. He had been covering Wevelgem the previous day. He had a suspected heart attack.
Moore was a Scottish national champion and competed at the Commonwealth Games. He wrote a string of books most notably his highly praised bio of Robert Millar. His book Slaying The Badger about the LeMond v Hinault 1986 Tour rivalry is also excellent. Richard also founded and presented The Cycling Podcast.
