2001 Results Stages Start list Past winners
France's two most popular riders, Laurent Jalabert and Richard Virenque, will face off for the first time this year at next week's Tour Méditerranéen. 22 teams will start this year's Med Tour, including all eight French teams.
Other stars rolling out from Salon-de-Provence on February 13 include Mario Cipollini, who has made a habit of stage wins here; Michele Bartoli; Danilo Di Luca; Davide Rebellin; Michael Boogerd; and Rik Verbrugghe.
Like many French races this year, the Tour Méditerranéen has struggled for funding and only survives as a result of public subsidies.
