In 2015, Arnaud Demare will return to the Tour de France with the intention of achieving his first win. In the early part of the season, he aims at a strong classics campaign from Milan-Sanremo to Paris-Roubaix.
At 23 years of age, Arnaud Demare goes into his fourth season with FDJ - this time without any internal rivalry with Nacer Bouhanni - and he is one of the clear leaders. According to l'Equipe, he has finalized his race scedule for the first half of the year.
Demare will start his season at the Tour of Qatar (February8-13) and will then head to the the Tour of Oman (February 17-22), Omloop Het Nieuwsblad (February 28), Paris-Nice (March 8-15), Milan-San Remo (March 22), Ghent-Wevelgem (March 29), Tour of Flanders (April 5), Paris-Roubaix (April 12), Tour of Belgium (May 27-31), Criterium du Dauphine (June 7-14) and the French championships (June 28).
In 2014, Demare won 15 races, including the French Championships, and was only surpassed by André Greipel who had 16 wins. However, he didn't win a single WorldTour race, with a second place in Gent-Wevelgem and two third places on stages of the Tour de France being his best results.
