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.

That was a cracker!
Oh no, Vinokourov doing interviews in a backwards teal colored golf cap. Ouch.
Big Tony Martin doing his traditional insanely long solo attack. Come on Tony!
Awesome Tony Martin and OPQS. Not only to they rock old school caps but the underside peak of Martin's says 'Panzerwagen'.
Shame for him the German newspapers will have a slightly bigger story tomorrow morning but well done.
Oh no, I thought it was just silly drivers playing with phones when behind the wheel. Now we have RedBeard dialing up for a pizza to be delivered to the finish line...Jaysus.

New standings after a cracking stage. @Deakus takes the lead.
Fuck me, its a lottery when I do my rest day picks... Cracking stage. Great to see a French man in yellow.
Contador snaps frame and loses over 4 mins on the peleton and chasing to get back. Wonder how "stock" that frame was? Time to start weighing bikes in the mountain stages and preventing swaps other than for genuine mechanicals (to be inspected post race) - or at least also weighing swaps with all frames being registered? Equivalent of Formula 1 park ferme.
Contador has abandoned. What you just heard was the sound of the entire VSP exploding.
Right, I'm picking absolute rank outsiders tomorrow...
