Cycling Weekly magazine profiles the teams racing to Paris in this year's Tour de France.

 
Factfile
Sponsor  Floor coverings, chips 
Bikes  Eddy Merckx, Campagnolo 
Team leader  Richard Virenque 
CW rating  5/10 
 

Richard Virenque is the only rider from the Belgian team who will really be competitive at the Tour.

He has been quiet so far this season but always blossoms under the Tour spotlight, even after all his troubles of 1998 with Festina.

Virenque will be aiming for his sixth climber’s jersey; also watch out for him on Bastille day.

Fred Rodriguez will be up there for the sprints along with Leon Van Bon. Former world champion Romans Vainsteins is still recovering from his saddle sore operation and so will miss the Tour.

The rest of the Domo team will be Dave Bruylandts, Enrico Cassani, Servais Knaven, Axel Merckx, Tomas Konecny and Piotr Wadecki.
