RIDERS TO WATCH

Arnaud Démare

After one of his best seasons yet, Démare will be keen to return to the Tour, where he will face A-list competition. If he can win there, it would confirm his standing as one of the world’s top sprinters.

Valentin Madouas

The Frenchman’s development is worth watching, after a year that saw him make a solid Tour debut and a classics campaign that returned three top 15 placings. Was also 13th at the 2019 Giro aged 22.
