The 20 teams for the 2008 Tour de France have been named by the organiser, Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO).

There has been no reprieve for Astana, which ASO said would not be welcome at any of its races.

Slipstream and Barloworld make the cut but there's no room for Dutch squad Skil-Shimano, which impressed at Paris-Nice last week.
