Intermarché-Circus-Wanty star Biniam Girmay has unveiled his list of targets for the 2023 season, with career debuts at the cobbled Monuments of the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix on his hit list alongside a return to Milan-San Remo and a debut at the Tour de France.

The Eritrean raced to stardom last spring on his first full season at WorldTour level, dispatching Christophe Laporte, Dries Van Gestel, and Jasper Stuyven to sprint to a spectacular victory at Gent-Wevelgem.
