Demare details 2016 race programme
Arnaud Demare (FDJ) will focus the first half of his season on the one-day Classics and Paris-Nice. The Frenchman detailed his race programe on Twitter on Wednesday.
Demare, a former U23 world champion, finished second in Gent-Wevelgem and 12th in Paris-Roubaix in 2014, and has made no secret that his ambitions lie in the Classics.

But his 2015 season went relatively poorly, and Demare struggled after returning to Europe from the Tours of Qatar and Oman. He was barely able to crack the top 10 in the Classics - his best finish was 10th in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad - but he went on to win two stages of the Baloise Belgium Tour.
This year he will skip the early-season travel, and start the year with Etoile de Bessèges and Tour Méditerranéen, and then take on the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne before competing in Paris-Nice.
Milan-San Remo comes next, before Gent-Wevelgem, the Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde, and finally Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix.
