2004 Team FDJEUX.COM AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE! This French team is extremely happy to have a trio of Australian riders that will make an impact on the Tour. Brad McGee will be attempting to repeat as the prologue winner and first yellow jersey; Baden Cooke will try to take a second green jersey; and Matt Wilson, given the chance, will try to repeat the stage-winning efforts he made at the Tour de l’Avenir (the under-25 Tour de France) in 2001 and 2002. Fdjeux.com’s best hope for a high GC performance comes from the Frenchmen Sandy Casar, 25, who placed 13th at the 2003 Giro.
