Gall, Bennett, Armirail, Godon, Lapeira... multiple choices for Decathlon in the Tour de France 2024
Cycling
One of the best teams in the 2024 season, Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale, has just presented its line-up for the Tour de France. The French team will arrive with Felix Gall, stage winner and top 10 of the Tour de France last year as leader, but also with interesting riders capable of winning on all terrains as they have been demonstrating all year.
The last two Decahlon wins this year have come from both Lapeira and Armirail in the French road and time trial championships. Before that, Bennett's four wins in Dunkerque stand out. Godon this year has won 2 stages and the Points classification at the Tour de Romandie.
The Irishman Sam Bennett comes with renewed morale after many months of hardship after several victories this year in the 4 Jours de Dunkerque and a second place in the sprint in Dauphiné.
Paul Lapeira comes from winning the French road championship and is showing tremendous speed in the final meters so he will have to be kept in mind for a breakaway along with two others who are coming out in 2024: Bruno Armirail and Dorian Godon.
Lapeira in addition to leaving for Florence with the tricolor on his jersey, has won this year the Classic Loire Atlantique and Cholet Agglo Tour, a stage in the Itzulia and finished fifth in the Amstel Gold Race. A lot of powder with which to try to do some damage in the Grande Boucle.

We will have to see what Felix Gall, who in 2023 saved the season for a then sad AG2R team and who so far this year has not performed at too high a level, being only ninth in Paris-Nice and tenth in a Tour de Suisse that did not have a big participation, is capable of doing.

- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- How is radio going to help when someone went over a cliff or bridge or off the roadside into a forest unnoticed and is laying there unconscious?Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Yep, next we’ll be accusing F1 drivers of avoiding Le Mans.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- Yeah man...PogiSloFans07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I'm very glad he got the big late Quickstep Vuelta win and I hope he has a few left for Euskaltel-Euskadi.flyer07-11-2026
- My memories of Ivan Basso aren't good but I liked his sister Elisa ok.flyer07-11-2026
