Young French talent Warren Barguil was one of only a few non-Spanish riders to attend the 2014 Vuelta presentation.

He won two stages of last years race, a remarkable feat when you consider he was only 21 at the time, he was riding his first Grand Tour and he had a bad crash earlier in the race.

 But the former Tour de l’Avenir winner clearly has talent, as he picked the right moment to leap away from the breakaway to win his first sage  in Castelldefels and he then faked fatigue to outfox Rigoberto Uran in a two-up sprint to win at the ski station of Formigal.

He knows most of his race schedule for 2014 but he is unsure whether or not he will do his maiden Tour de France or a second Vuelta.

"Everybody wants to do the Tour, but as a French rider, even more so," the talented young climber said at the launch in Cadiz.

"At the same time, there's less media pressure at the Vuelta and fewer French journalists so for a young rider it could be better there for that reason.”

"And I like the Vuelta too, a lot. I know I've got good memories of this race. I can do well there on the climbs and the route is a tough one again. There's not too much time trialling and there are stages that finish after a tough climb and a descent, which is really good for me. Ok, so there's no Pyrenees, where I did well last year, but there's still a lot of climbing. And I want to confirm what I managed to achieve last year and prove it wasn't a fluke."

He will do the GP Maresellaise in February followed by the Tour of Catalonia, the Tour of the Basque Country and the Ardennes Classics. After that, he will have to make his big decision: the Tour or the Vuelta.
