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.

Right now with 2 swaps of my 1st and 2nd and leaving 3-5 I'm negative 7.
Ok this just either sucks or is really really fun! I choose the later and am betting that there will be lots more carnage to come so that we have not finished shuffling this peleton like a pack of cards...

I'll be honest, reading something like this makes it even more frustrating to see someone who's healthy like Cancellara willingly pull himself out. Kinda feels like he's taking the biggest race in the world for granted...

Frank has had a multi-day battle with the beast. Hopefully the beers went in Frank instead of the poxy server.

Changing out the crashed riders. Nibbles was already chosen for third, and I don't want to take another 5 point gamble.

The VSP Rules page is down atm. I assume you get a bigger penalty for doing swaps on the 2nd rest day?
