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.

No, but picking Froome just jinxed you! He's away hame tae his mammy, remember?
Almost as much carnage in the VSP as the actual race! Hate to put Valmerde in there but the bastard just won't fuck off and die. Ol' man Horner will grind away to 5th. TJ will redeem himself. Porte will try, try and try again to beat Nibbles, but there will be no Sky three-peat. Nibbles, barring accidents, will ride triumphant up the Champs. Tony Panzerwagen will win the TT and Mar-gel Kittel will win the final stage. A couple more stages for the Frenchies. Me? I'll continue posting pish so no change there.

If Fabs defense, I don't think we even wanted to ride the Tour to begin with. It's not like he took another person's spot on the team either if fucking Abandy was given a spot. They would have tapped someone from Axel's farm team to come up.
The PanzerWagon is so cool. I want to read an interview with the poor Cannondale guy who got worked so badly trying to ride with Tony in the two man break, that was beautiful TV.
Trying again - curse this newfangled technology!

Loving seeing the French with some genuine chances up there, while I wouldn't normally wish harm on any cyclist...there'll be no tears if Malmerde befalls the contender's curse.
Also seriously unhappy with Faboo's effort, if you toe up to the start line at a GT, you stay there til you physically cannot.
