The Tour de Picardie is a sprinter's delight, and one of the fastest Frenchmen on two wheels, Agritubel's Romain Feillu will have his first taste of competition of the year starting on Friday. The second year professional took four wins in 2007 before being struck by a case of toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection which can cause flu-like symptoms.
