Guillaume Martin announces plans for 2024: Strade Bianche debut, Tour de France & Vuelta a Espana
CyclingThursday, 25 January 2024 at 14:00
Arguably the leading light of the Cofidis team, Guillaume Martin has some big ambitions for the 2024 campaign including a pair of Grand Tours and a debut at Strade Bianche.
Martin, a three-time top-10 finisher in a Grand Tour, has long been expected to lead the French-based team at their home Grand Tour once again, with teammate Bryan Coquard even touting him as a potential general classification challenger when the route and profiles of the 2024 Tour de France were revealed late last year.
After finishes of 14th and 9th in 2020 and 2021 respectively, Martin also has a return to the Vuelta a Espana on the cards in 2024. Although a Grand Tour stage win still eludes the Frenchman, Martin's biggest success in a three-week stage race came in Spain in 2020 when he took home the King of the Mountains jersey.
During the Spring, Paris-Nice, Fleche Wallonne and Liege-Bastogne-Liege are in the sights of Martin, as is a debut at Strade Bianche. The season begins for the 30-year-old at Classic Var of February 16th.
Guillaume Martin's race calendar for 2024:
16-02 Classic Var
17-02 - 18-02 Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var
24-02 Faun-Ardèche Classic
25-02 Faun Drome Classic
02-03 Strade Bianche
03-03 - 10-03 Paris-Nice
18-03 - 24-03 Volta a Ciclista a Catalunya
17-04 La Fleche Wallonne
21-04 Liege-Bastogne-Liege
02-06 - 09-06 Criterium du Dauphine
29-06 - 21-07 Tour de France
17-08 - 08-09 Vuelta a Espana

- I counted 16 riders under 24 out of 43 that started. Once was only 16 ! Two of the top riders are Zoe and Schreiber and both under 23 yet that have done 50 min races in the past with the elites so I think it's just bad clock management. Let them race 50 freakin' minutes! One more lap could have made a big dffierence most times in the podium and winner.frieders319-11-2024
- He needs to finish out his contract and then go hit MTB and Cross/Gravel really hard, that's where his heart is.awp18-11-2024
- Pidcock is starting to sound like Froome now.Sweep18-11-2024
- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
