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.

It certainly took a solid pair to win this year.
@Two Ball Billy
Hat to you 2BB! Oh wait we're you talking about Nibbles? He deserves acclaim for making it look easy but is anyone else wondering what's up with the sausage in his shorts Or is it just me and I should seek professional help?
@Two Ball Billy
Meaning solid pedals ??
@Rob
Just you @Rob, just you...
@Teocalli
No on both counts. What I'm saying is that Nibbles doesn't seem to have any real competition. Doesn't it seem that way to you?
Frank in second place? Mien Gott em Heimmel. He does have a big brain.
@Two Ball Billy
Chapeau. Few dared to venture beyond the lightbulb fucker and spanish steak-o-matic.
Yeah, strong work, Big Frank! I wonder if he could have pulled off such brilliant picks, Gianni, if he'd had to do it after rejigging the main frame last week. Well, that there is the question: does wrestling the monster add to his madness, or his clarity?
Darn, so close to some nice points. Valverde slotted into 3, Tejay at 4. I don't see them both jumping up a slot today.
Already feelin' the post-Le Tour postpartum letdown. Always makes it feel like summer is a bit too far gone for my liking. The elation of late June is suddenly transformed into the emptiness of late July.
Frank, so are you guys going to do a VSP for the post tour criteriums? I need to salvage some points.
@Ccos
I hope so. Those things are so fixed that even I could get a few right.
Let's see . . . if Nibbles starts . . Nibbles wins! If Kittel does one in Germany, he wins. If Bardet or Peraud are the main attraction at one in France, one of them wins.
Well, that does it for this year's Tour. What a race, I really loved this whole thing soup to nuts.
As for the VSP GC, lets see what we've got here after La Course and Le Tour's points are added in:
