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

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
