Many riders describe the atmosphere of their teams as similar to one of family. For one team, CSC, that's literally true, since Frank Schleck and his younger brother Andy are both members. Unfortunately, Andy did not make the Tour de France roster. There are other brothers in the Tour this year, but they are racing against each other. We have a German pair, the Grabsches, who are only separated by 13 seconds in the General Classification. Bert, the elder riding for T-Mobile, leads his brother Ralf, who rides for Milram. The French pair, the Chavanels, are very different cyclists. Sylvain, a Cofodis member, is a breakaway artist and climber. His younger brother Sébastien, is a sprinter for FdJ, and is more than an hour behind the elder in the GC.
