The Dutchman overtook the Habs on Sunday, at the end of a race where attacks were rare.
A rather calm race and a French silver medal. Cyclist Arnaud Démare was able to enjoy a fine second place in the road event of the European Championships in Munich (Germany), Sunday August 14th. After a very good job by the French team to bring its sprinter along, the end of the race was a little more complicated. The attack of the Italians in the last kilometer notably forced the Habs to fend for themselves. He still managed to compete in the sprint, where he lost to Dutchman Fabio Jakobsen.
Already winner of a stage in the Tour of Poland on August 5, the Frenchman confirms his good form at the moment. Best sprinter in the Tour of Italy, Arnaud Démare once again made his solidity and speed speak for itself, even if the Groupama FDJ rider would no doubt have dreamed of climbing to the top step of the podium at the end of these 207.9 km. But the returning Fabio Jakobsen, winner of the 2nd stage of the Tour this year, is indeed one of the strong men of the world sprint this season.
