Demare learning about pain at the Giro d'Italia

Reigning world U23 champion Arnaud Demare has enjoyed a breakout season in the professional ranks this year, with victories at the Tour of Qatar, Le Samyn and Cholet-Pays de Loire offering exciting evidence of his potential. The 20-year-old FDJ-BigMat rider is widely seen as one of the next great hopes of French cycling and his progress has enabled him make his Grand Tour bow at the 2012 Giro d'Italia.
