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.

Aaaagghh - Jack Bauer, so near and yet so far. Much respect for a top effort. Kia kaha.
I'm going to keep my eyes open for this Bauer guy, rode like a stud, heart on his sleeve. One of the rides of the tour IMO... Just would have loved for it to have come off for the romance of the tour, but that's racing.
Watch from 1.00min, more class than a high school.
"you must be proud of your achievement?" "nah not really a win is a win so this is more of a failure"

Wanted to cry today.

Best episode of 24 I've ever seen.
@minion
Somebody has to stand up for Ritchie - he's been sick with bronchitis since the cobbles stage, on antibiotics ... So pull your head in.
@dyalander
But there was the usual moment of looking at each other a couple of kms out and ultimately that is what cost them the stage. As has already been said...that is racing though....they could have won and bathed in shared glory, but ultimately they dicked it.
Tony Martin for president...still...and the V moment of the year!
It's a long way for Laurens but I hope he makes it!
