The home nation's card in EF's deck, 'Baudinou' comes to his second Tour flying: in June he won the opening stage of the rebranded Dauphiné from the breakaway and pulled on the race leader's jersey. The Savoyard climber-puncheur has been knocking on the door since his AG2R days, and EF openly expect him to replicate that breakaway blueprint on French roads in July.

Cut-out factBaudin grew up in Albertville, the town that hosted the 1992 Winter Olympics — and says several of this Tour's Alpine stages roll over his childhood training roads.
