Arnaud Démare discussion thread

Re:

Good job to Demare to make it a clean sweep. Hopefully he can start winning stages in other Grand Tours and more at the Tour. Between the 3 french sprinters he is definitely the best right now.

He's only started the Giro twice, finishing neither time.
He's never even started the Vuelta.
I think he should start actually riding those races before he begins thinking about victory.

Demare will be riding the Giro in 2019 as Pinot will ride the TDF.

Maybe the thought of victory will make him ride them more.

The worst bike throw of the three, but having the side least exposed to the wind saved him.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

He's absolutely imperial at this Giro. Impressive stuff.

 

[Netserk]

A worthy team, too. Only fitting.

 

[Alexandre B.]

This Giro di Poitou Charentes is going well.

 

[Leinster]

Kinda wish he'd rode the Tour.

Kinda wish he'd rode the Tour.

Now he can avenge last years screw up.

Anyway, I liked this one from yesterday.

 

[jmdirt]

The fastest of the big quads in this GdI!

Sagan and Matthews won't come close to challenging him for the points classification if they don't try something soon

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Bang. Just a shame he has to win in this ugly points jersey and not in the tricolore.

 

[tobydawq]

Only seven teams have more wins than him this season. And he only got going in August!

Sprinting has really died in the ass. Used be competitive

 

[johnymax]

Demare for Velo d'Or!

You miss the times when Petacchi was seen outsprinting Fred Rodriguez and Olaf Pollack every day or two?

 

[roundabout]

I wonder who was the last French rider to win 4 stages in one GT?

Or Cavendish beating Rojas and Boasson Hagen day in and day out.

Jalabert, I would think.

Jalabert?

Edit: I was Rogliced

 

[roundabout]

Yeah, I think Jalabert would be right, and that was 25 years ago.

 

[tobydawq]

Nine stage wins in one Giro.

24 Grand Tour stage wins from 2003 Giro to 2004 Giro.

Sick numbers but it can't have been very entertaining to watch.
