flight team Fuji-Servetto were left out of this year's Tour de France after last year's doping fiasco when organizers unveiled their selection on Tuesday. Twenty teams will take part in the world's greatest stage race from July 4 to 27. All the ProTour teams except Fuji-Servetto have been picked by Tour organizers Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), as well as lower-ranked Skil-Shimano, Agritubel and Cervelo, the team of 2008 winner Carlos Sastre. Fuji-Servetto was barred from entering last week's ASO-owned Paris-Nice race and its appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was rejected this month because it was ruled the team had damaged the Tour's image. As expected, Astana return after being omitted last year because of their past doping record. Teams (all ProTour unless stated): AG2R La Mondiale (France), Astana (Kazakhstan), BBox Bouygues Telecom (France), Caisse d'Epargne (Spain), Cofidis (France), Euskaltel-Euskadi (Spain), Francaise des Jeux (France), Garmin-Slipstream (US), Lampre (Italy), Liquigas (Italy), Quick Step (Belgium), Rabobank (Netherlands), Silence-Lotto (Belgium), Columbia-High Road (US), Katusha (Russia), Milram (Germany), Saxo Bank (Denmark), Skil-Shimano (Netherlands, ProContinental), Agritubel (France, ProContinental ), Cervelo (Switzerland, ProContinental).
