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.

Froome caught staring at his power meter. Contador kicking ass. World champ on the podium. Hot riders from the latest stage races with serious competition. Where's Valverde? Almost a minute behind Roche. Sorry squeezed out (I may regret this).

Oh, and Nibali? Dropped.
Why am I so happy all of a sudden?
Oranje. Rosa. Jaune.
The colours of the coming weekend!
Thank goodness there's no TTT this time, or I'd wonder about Garmin's chances. Here's hoping for a safe first week.

Let's see, pick 5 names, have a chance at a badass Velominati frame, wheelset, or kit.... I'll put GC riders in a hat, and draw names for a chance at that!

Crazy, sure. But genius if I'm write. The only chance I have in this VSP is a do or die breakaway.
