Career
[edit]Ghebreigzabhier started cycling at the age of 14, first with mountain biking.[5] His first major success was winning the Eritrean national road race championships in 2014 while riding for a club team. In 2016, he joined Dimension Data for Qhubeka, the development team of UCI WorldTeam Team Dimension Data, and was selected to join the WorldTeam as a stagiaire in 2016 and 2017. He joined the team full time the following year, and competed in his first Grand Tour: the 2018 Vuelta a España where he finished 7th on stage 17 and 34th overall.[6][7] That season, he also won the African road race championship. In 2019, he competed in his first Giro d'Italia and was crowned the national time trial champion.[8]
After NTT Pro Cycling folded at the end of the 2020 season, he was signed by Trek–Segafredo with an initial contract lasting through 2022.[4] In March 2022, he fell heavily during the last stage of the Volta a Catalunya. Hospitalized, he suffered serious contusions to the chest and abdomen, injuries to several organs and broken ribs and vertebrae.[9]
Ghebreigzabhier had a strong spring in 2023, finishing second in the GP Industria & Artigianato di Larciano before competing in the Giro d'Italia in May.[10] At the Giro, he placed 6th on stage 4 and was presented the combativity award for the day.[11] However, he ultimately abandoned the race after stage 15. In August, he competed in the Vuelta a España, attaining a 4th place finish on stage 9.[12]
