 | TEAM FACTFILE Country: Belgium Team boss: Geert Coeman Best Tour: 2003 - McEwen second in green jersey |
The pressure will be on the team as they battle to defend the green jersey Robbie McEwen won 12 months ago. The Australian was the form man in the sprinst last year and has been in stunning shape in 2005, including three wins on the Giro d'Italia.
But that is not the Belgian outfit's sole interest when it comes to racing in France.
Axel Merckx was 21st overall last year, while Cadel Evans has been snapped up from T-Mobile.
Evans, a countryman of McEwen's, has long been talked about as a future contender in the race's general classification.
Among other names to watch in the team are Peter van Petegem and Christophe Brandt.
