Arnaud Démare is once again in the spotlight after receiving Picard sportsman of the year for the second time. Groupama-FDJ rider is very close to achieving the 100 victories milestone.
Démare's achievement was noted by Tour de France race director Christian Prudhomme. "This title is the culmination of a very good season, especially in Italy with his stage wins at the Giro and the points jersey," he told Picard Courier.

He further adds, "Now he is aiming for a hundred victories, which very few riders have managed to do. He had a magnificent end to the season with his second victory in Paris-Tours, a race that we organise."
The Frenchman won seven races last season, including three stages of the Giro d'Italia. His current win total is 91 victories, and he needs nine more to make it to 100. Hopefully, he will be able to reach that goal this season. “Moreover, his success is more than that of a sprinter. Now he is aiming for a hundred victories, which very few riders have managed to do, and that is a very good goal. And now we hope to see Arnaud Démare again in the Tour de France,” concluded Prudhomme.
