Arnaud Démare is retiring after Paris-Tours
Sprinter and Classics veteran Arnaud Démare announced on Thursday that he will retire after Paris-Tours on Sunday. The 34-year-old Frenchman, who has spent the past three seasons with Arkéa-B&B Hotels, will hang up the wheels with nearly a hundred wins on his career palmares, including a Monument victory at Milan-San Remo in 2016 and a total of 10 Grand Tour stage wins too.
"I started cycling at age 6," he wrote on social media. "So blessed to live my dream, to win big races and to proudly represent French cycling at the highest level. I never imagined that I would achieve all this."
