Bouygues Telecom for the Tour

The Bouygues Telecom team will lines up in Strasbourg on July for the start of the Tour de France with exactly the same team as it fielded in 2005, team manager Jean-René Bernaudeau has announced.

Laurent Brochard was the team's best finisher in 2005 in 28th place on general classification, 55:29 down on winner Lance Armstrong, while Jérôme Pineau place a creditable fifth in the young rider contest and was 43rd overall.
