Attention all Velominati. The Tour VSP is going on line and it should be a good one. Sure, between Froomy and Bertie a person could hedge their bets but Moviestar is all in for Valverde, BMC for TeeJay, Astana for the Shark and Garmin is finally committing to a team leader in Talansky. Some other teams (ahem…Trek Factory Racing for one) have resigned themselves to hunting stage wins. The Tour swings through the Yorkshire Dales, everyone but the riders can enjoy some excellent ales. As the Tour continues to Lille, Norther France and Belgium, the quality pints continue. Yes, it’s hot and the VSP generator has beer on its mind.
The route, the sprints, the climbing and even the final time trial should make this a decent Tour. Here is a start list. Everyone will have a vial in their jersey pocket, but don’t worry, it’s legal.
It is still not too late to win the overall 2014 VSP and we have made it worth your while.
Refer to the VSP page for details concerning scoring and rest day swaps. If you want to call yourself Pedro Delgado, you will only have yourself to blame. The VSP banner on the homepage has the countdown clock, refresh your browser and don’t be late. Good luck and good picking.

Something tells me that there is going to be mayhem in the mountains on this Tour. Rolland and Matthias Frank are going to cause all sorts of carnage.

Wanted to defend my stellar VSP position last year and get into the prizes this year, but that's clearly not going to happen. Fuckfuckfuck. Still a bit pissed about the inadvertent Delgado, but it can be freeing knowing that there is no pressure to do well in the Tour. At least, that's what I'm telling myself. Talansky might be a long shot, but I can't resist cheering for the local boy.
Seriously rooting for Chava to take a couple stages, and wanting wildcard Bretagne-Séché to have a good Tour. One of these days I'm going to sell nearly everything I have of value, move to Plougasnou, Bretagne, and ride my bike all day. It will be glorious.

It always amazes me how I can get so excited for what's normally the least exciting grand tour of the year. Bring it on!
