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.

You just said a mouthful. Talansky is a tough bastard and that will help him as the race goes on. Schleck just lost Cancellara, the only guy who was helping him and the only guy who refuses to give him a Luxembourg Wedgie back at the hotel, after dinner, because Frandy is a weak pussy.
And wee Ritchie Porte is heading for 2nd place over all. Good for him.

Holy fack...I want to know more about the execution of a Luxembourg Wedgie!
Do you need a soigneur or rouleur to help you execute this, or is it a one man job!
@Ron
It's always better if a soigneur helps, strong hands and all. It's a team building exercise.
@Mike_P
True that. Merckx knows I love the Sparty, but Tony Panzerwagen will be top step at the worlds no matter how much Fabs and Wiggo rest up. Tony's the wee boy!
@sthilzy
You do know Froome's out, oui?
