The 2011 season for the FDJ cycling team began in January at La Tropicale Amissa Bongo and ended in October at the Chrono des Nations. The season was their first as a UCI Professional Continental team, having been denied UCI ProTeam status for 2011 in the preceding offseason, due to a paperwork error.[1] Thus, the team had to be selected by organizers of UCI World Tour events, including each of the season's Grand Tours, if they were to compete. Only the Tour de France extended a wildcard invitation to FDJ.
While the team was not particularly competitive in the World Tour level races to which they received invites, they dominated the UCI Europe Tour. As their Professional Continental status meant they were scored for Europe Tour performances, they handily won the Europe Tour teams competition, finishing with more than a thousand more points than second-placed Skil–Shimano. Of the team's 28 victories, all but two were in Europe Tour races. Jérémy Roy won the overall combativity award at the Tour de France, the team's most notable performance in a World Tour race on the year. The team had no one star rider in 2011, as seven different riders won multiple races.
