"My objective remains the same - to win at least one stage" - Arnaud Démare shares his ambitions for 2024 Tour de France
CyclingFriday, 27 October 2023 at 02:30
Absent from the Tour de France in 2022 and 2023, Arnaud Démare will, if all goes well, make his return to the Grande Boucle next year. In search of a first stage victory on the roads of the Tour, Team Arkéa-Samsic will certainly not be able to do without the services of the 32-year-old sprinter, who already won a Tour de France stage twice in the past. and with eight flat stages on the program for the 2024 edition, the former three-time French champion will have plenty opportunities next July.
"The Tour de France is the event which, on two occasions, allowed me to experience great sporting joys, to include two stages of the biggest competition in the world on my record. I have always wanted to race this competition, our national Tour, and I am both proud and honored every time I start."
"I obviously want to return to this event in 2024 in order to shine the colors of the future Arkea - B&B Hotels team. My objective will remain the one that has always rocked my competitive life: to go to this magnificent event with the ambition of winning a stage, and if this objective is fulfilled, I would not deprive myself, if I had the possibility, to win few more," declared Arnaud Démare on the Team Arkéa-Samsic website.

- It will be just a waste of time to finish out of the podium. Giro Vuelta makes a better choiceabstractengineer19-11-2024
- I would agree, top 3 with Remco improving and snapping at his heels. I just wish he wouldn't keep crashing in the TDF.Pedalmasher19-11-2024
- Backstedt and Schreiber are not juniors they are under 23. There were I think about 7 or 8 juniors in this race. Under the current rules a race that has juniors in can't go over 45 minutes. The winning time was 43.53 so the timing was correct. The organisers are in the wrong because they should be putting on a juniors race and then we wouldn't be in this situation as the timings for the elite race would be 50 minutes, not 45.NorrisHippocampe19-11-2024
- It's everywhere. Just like it was before. But we can just pretend it isn't. Just like we did before.Sweep19-11-2024
- Not a top 4 GT rider? He's got more GT wins (just not at the Tour) than any viable active rider (Froome not included). Were it not for his team messing it up for him, he'd have won the Vuelta even more often. He's a bizarrely accident prone, deeply conservative rider, but it delivers. He's also one of the best 1-week GC riders in the peloton. The man may not be Pogacar or Vingegaard (who is?), but he is definitely in the top 3 of the field, right now.RidesHills19-11-2024
- Nobody is saying that he is tin he Top 4 GT riders but nobdy is also saying he is capable of winning the TDF in the presence of Pog and Jonas. He was already fairly blown away before his crash and if we assume that Bora hired him to win the TDF, then it would not be considered a success. That he won the Vuelta only make it not a total fail.abstractengineer19-11-2024
- "The viewing and visitor figures are both better than when they were riding" - what a BS. Please compare (and only then) visitor figures during current season vs when WvA and MvdP are back in December (hopefully!) otherwise you are comparing oranges to apples.averagecyclist19-11-2024
- 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
