The team, founded in 1997, is once again relying almost exclusively on home-grown riders this year; only six of the professionals are not French. This year’s Tour could feature an all-French line-up. In Guillaume Martin and, above all, David Gaudu, there are two riders who will be challenging for the general classification. Gaudu is still regarded as one of France’s great hopes, even though he has been unable to build on his fourth-place finish in 2022. Three years older than the 29-year-old Gaudu is Guillaume Martin, a philosophy graduate who has consistently put in impressive performances across his nine Tour appearances, but has yet to make the leap to the very top. The young Romain Grégoire offers prospects of stage victories, having finished in the top five in three stages at last year’s Tour.
