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.

@wiscot ha ha love it
Good grief, yellow jersey - got to screen grab that.
...and Kristoff still hasn't sorted out his tilted helmet problem.
@Teocalli congrats fella.
@Teocalli
Well done. I knew my Lantern Rouge was safe...
@Geraint
Maybe it's his head that's tilted . . .
Teocalli - Congrats - yup, screen-grab that sucker!
I should have known better than to put Porte in the VSP.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Nibali. I suppose I will slot him in on the rest day and leave Valverde where he is. Meanhile, three DNFs in my top 5.
Intriguing that Porte cracked. What is Sky's plan C?
Boy am I glad I spent the day fixing the server and not making a ill-fated swap for Porte!
Thibaut Pinot's my man... Just need Vince to crack. TJ put in a great effort too.
Van Garderen is within striking distance of the podium. Too bad I picked him for 4th.
