In 2014, Arnaud Demare had an unsuccessful Tour de France debut. Next year he wants to return to the biggest race in the world.

 

After a highly successful season, Arnaud Demare is now the only leader of the FDJ team in the sprints afetr Nacer Bouhanni has left the team to join Cofidis. The pressure will now be on Demare's shoulder to keep the tally of wins at the 2014 level and he is looking forward to the challenge.

 

In an interview with L'Equipe, he makes it clear that his main goal is to continue his improvement. His goals will be similar to the ones he had in 2014.

 

"I was second in Gent-Wevelgem and 12th in Paris-Roubaix, and I really felt I can take another step in the classics. I won a lot of races but not the great and beautiful ones that I dream about," he said. 

 

"Winning the Tour de Picardie, the Four Days of Dunkirk and Eurometropole, I also proved that I know how to win stage races. In 2015, I will focus more on my goals and focus on the best races. I will seek to gain in quality and not necessarily quantity."

 

In 2014, Demare made his Tour de France debut but he didn't enjoy much success.

 

"I want to return to the Tour after the bad experience i had this year. I probably arrived a little too euphoric about it after my French title. I only managed a couple of third-place finishes. In fact, I suffered for three weeks. I lacked a clear head and experience."

 

Arnaud Démare will start the season at the Tour of Qatar, where he has already won twice. Then he will participate in some of the greatest classics of the season like Milan-San Remo and Paris-Roubaix. Gent-Wevelgem is also on his schedule
