French team AG2R La Mondiale had already selected five riders for the Tour two weeks ago: Jean-Christophe Péraud, Maxime Bouet, Samuel Dumoulin, Romain Bardet and Blel Kadri.
Now, the team management has picked the riders for the last four spots: Hubert Dupont, John Gadret, Sébastien Minard, and Christophe Riblon, making it an all-French line-up.
The team is ambitious ahead of the 100th Tour de France, hoping to get Jean-Christophe Péraud into the top-5 overall. They will also try to attack on suitable stages with the objective of getting stage wins.
