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.

Bertie has been hiding his light under a sirloin but will and will reveal a new, revised version of the finger bang. Froomie will have a Bad Day (Wiggo will be seen cheering on twitter). JRod is solid, Nibbles is not. J VdB, Talansky and Tejay will buckle under their respective National Expectation. Fabs will wear yellow for a day or three, Gerro will suck but win a stage, Tommy will lick his lips...etc etc..

Missed the VSP for Tour De Suisse. Plus swinging and missing on most of the other earlier races. So this is all pretty much academic.

How fucking dumb do I feel now for not entering at the start of the year... I'd love a shot at that frame!
