From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

La Française des Jeux (UCI Team Code: FDJ) is a French cycling team, sponsored by the French national lottery. Sponsorship of the team began in 1997. The team was named FDJeux.com in 2003 and 2004, and again renamed "La Française des Jeux", supposedly to avoid bad luck.

The team is managed by Marc Madiot, a former racer himself (a former winner of the Paris-Roubaix classic). The roster has a dominant French component, but also quite a few Australian cyclists. In the 2003 edition of Tour de France, Australian individual time trial expert Bradley McGee won the prologue stage to wear the yellow jersey for a few days. Sprinter Baden Cooke won the green jersey for the points competition.

In the 2006 Tour de France, team member Benoît Vaugrenard has worn the white jersey for the best young rider for the first two stages.
