Tour de France Start List and Champions

Official Start list of the Tour de France
Who are the 2011 National Champions at the Tour de France?
What jersey numbers will each cyclist be wearing in the 2011 TDF? And which riders will be wearing special jerseys? Here is the official start list for the 22 teams, with 9 riders each, competing in the 3-week stage race on July 2-24, 2011, with rider dossard (bib) numbers. Read more about a dossard at a previous PedalDancer.com post: Word of the Day: Dossard.

I have added the current National Champions behind their name on this TDF roster. There are a number of the new National Champions in 2011 that will not be competing in the Tour de France. Previous national champions wear the colors of their country on the sleeve or collar of their jersey. There will be a number of former champs at the race. Read the full list of The New 2011 National Champions of cycling. To view the standard team jerseys for 2011 please see Wow that sure is ugly! / 2011 Pro Team Jerseys.
For revisions to this list from withdrawals and injuries please read: Updated Rider List and withdrawals at Tour de France (this list will be updated after each stage of the 2011 TDF).
