What is the point in B&B being in the race. Haven't even managed to get in any significant breaks IIRC. Just seem to be cruising around in the peloton. There must have been another team more worthy of an invite - i assume they were the only other French ones?
Rumour has it that they've a major new sponsor lined up, possibly announced on the final rest day, who will significantly increase their budget for next season. They wouldn't have got this without the exposure they get by riding the Tour.
