Points of Interest:
Agritubel are 1 of 4 teams in this year´s tour who have chosen to move away from Shimano and Campagnolo components to ride SRAM Red. Astana, Milram and Saxo Bank also ride with SRAM components this year.
2009 Tour:
Yet another French team - Agritubel were last overall in last year´s Tour. 38 year old Christophe Moreau might win a stage, and he is popular with the French fans. However, the team´s best opportunity for glory lies with Romain Feillu. He briefly wore the yellow jersey last year, and whilst he can´t win the race overall, he could win a stage.
