68th Edition: May 16 - May 18, 2014
Tour de Picardie podium history | 2015 edition |
Sunday, May 18: 3rd and Final Stage, Cap'Aisne Chamouille - Bray sur Somme, 170.5 km
The Race: By winning the final stage of the Tour de Picardie and the final General classification, Arnaud Demare increased his victory total this 2014 season to seven, tying him with Mark Cavendish and Nacer Bouhanni and putting him one win behind Alejandro Valverde.
But, l'Equipe cautions that Demare's FDJ teammate Bouhanni is winning higher value wins, such as stages in the Giro d'Italia and Paris Nice.
True, But Demare is having a splendid season and his Tour de Picardie win means he'll be a force in the Tour de France sprints.
