Cofidis and Française des Jeux announced their line-ups for the Tour Down Under, January 18 to 25. David Moncoutié, who has ridden the Australian stage race every year since 2000, will lead Cofidis.
"This year Moncoutié finished first in the mountains classification of the Vuelta a España, making him a rider to watch during the Skoda King of the Mountain climbs," said race director Mike Turtur. Cofidis is also sending Mickaël Buffaz, who last year finished fifth overall.
