"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.

- I never stated nor implied that some people don't want it to be better. I stated a few facts. The culture of India is very different from ours. It would be entertaining to watch all those cyclists ride by all that trash for hours!acem8220-01-2026

- Pogi was 3rd at La Vuelta in 2019 in his first season at UAE. They really messed up the team time trial but he still finished 3rd overall and got himself 3 stage wins in the process! UAE’s transformation into a super team was kick-started by Pogi.Lozza20-01-2026

- Weird take. Just because something isn't the same, or as nice, doesn't mean people don't wish it was, and try to fix things. That's like saying "Oh he doesn't have a university education, he must not want one".antipodeanpedalfan20-01-2026
- UAE'S Budget is essentially unlimited and parallels the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.Both spend insane amounts of money on the very best athletes and out compete everyone else.Thats Capitalistic behavior at its finest or worst depending on your bank acct.You can't force the best riders to go to teams that are in dire need of improvement.You can only nurture the young riders and seek out the best of the best in house or as in baseball through farm teams.All sports always have dominant teams and struggling teams.Thats the nature of the beast and will never change.
