Arnaud Démare discussion thread

Page 2 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
One of the favourites/dark horses for Paris-Roubaix most definitely. I don't believe he can win the flemish classics, but P-R seems right down his alley. Im pretty neutral on him, but he is probably my favourite of the French sprinters which really doesn't say that much.
 
First stage win at the Critérium du Dauphiné

There are (at least) 5 sprintera better than him. He won't win a single stage in tour
Cav is most prob out, Greipel is getting older, Demare has has a great season so far. Also lets remember FDJ will have a whole team devoted to Arnaud this time around, I think he will be up there and at least win one stage.

And then there is Kittel who could theoretically win 9 tdf stages this year which is one of the scariest thoughts I've ever had.
Don't know about Demare's chances. He could win a stage or two, but I don't think he'll be the strongest sprinter, so he'll need a bit of luck or an incredible leadout.

Sagan will win more stages than kittel
You think? Sagan isn't the quickest in a drag race and there aren't many stages that are perfect for him, except Rodez.
I also think. Sagan almost always gets a stage or two. Démare has never won a GT stage and I haven't seen anything different from him him this year. He destroyed the field in the second stage but he was going up against a Bouhanni just returning from injury and a Kristoff who has had trouble beating his own leadout man this year. I just don't see him being able to win against Kittel, Griepel, and everyone else who'll be at the Tour.
