Tour Riders for 2008

Here are the riders in this year's Tour de France. It begins today, by the way.

The list starts with team name and then goes by bib number. The rider's home country is the abbreviation at the end of his name. Sorry for the jumble. It was cut and pasted here.

There are 180 riders in this year's Tour de France - one fewer team than in most years.
