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.

It must be with ask the crashes... At least one at every corner.
@Buck Rogers
It's raining and very slick. He went down three times today. I think it was three. I've been watching for an hour and have seen 4 crashes. Still no cobble yet too.
@Buck Rogers
So you won't want an update?
@justinevan88
Way more than 4, lost count. Froome went down 3 times alone.
There goes my million from Road ID...I knew one of the favorites would crash out... But didn't choose correctly.
Wonder if anyone bet that he would crash out today kind of like how some people correctly bet that Suarez would bite someone at the World Cup this year.
Where's Bertie? Nibbles looks like he's having a good day.
Wiggo's "look how good I am on the cobbles" at Paris Roubaix obviously fell on deaf ears at Team Sky. I can imagine the smug look on his face right now....
Bertie just needs to finish safely. He'll pull back in the Mountains against Nibbles.
Porte is Skys plan B now...
@Buck Rogers
I suspect Froome's wrist was giving him handling trouble before the day started...
Really gutsy performance from a lot of guys today, including Nibali. Who saw that coming?
