2009 Tour de France teams announced

Tour de France 2009

Tour de France organiser Amaury Sport Organisation has announced the list of 20 teams selected to take part in this year's race in July.

There are no major surprises on the list. One omission is the Fuji-Servetto team - the squad formerly known as Saunier Duval. It's no great shock that ASO have not sent an invite to the outfit given that Saunier's Leonardo Piepoli and Riccardo Ricco both failed tests for banned blood booster CERA (EPO) during the 2008 event.
