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.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. What a first half to the tour, just unbelieveable. My VSP picks may be in tatters, but frankly I don't care as it's been great to watch, and I'm developing a serious man-crush on Tony Martin; fantastic solo win, so much burning and turning himself inside out on many stages and then when he finally went pop yesterday he fell apart like a clown car to show us mere mortals that even the boys at the top can still go up hills pedalling squares like it's the back end of your first sportive. Beautiful. My new picks are a lottery, but frankly it doesn't seem to matter this year!

I'm only going to do a single swap. It does look like Nibali will win it this year at this point though. I will admit I'm rooting for Chris Horner to get into the top 10 to help motivate old guys like me.
