St Gotthard Pass- A Cobbled Swiss Dream
Why would the VSP use the Tour de Suisse instead of the Critérium de Dauphiné? The Dauphiné is looking like the pre-Tour de France. Sky and Garmindale are already giving their GC men nightmares by screwing up on the team time trial front. Practice, practice, practice, lads; it’s better to cock it up now than in the real Tour. Every TDF buck has bailed on the Swiss race in favor of anything else.
Where does that leave us and the betting window? Points are points so it’s time to channel your inner DS and copy @xyxax’s picks. Though the main GC riders may be elsewhere, there are many great riders here; enough to make this an interesting stage race. Maybe even a great race with no obvious overall contender. Bertie is racing but hopefully he is hanging in with the gruppetto everyday. The man needs some rest damn it, not 15,000 meters of climbing. Then there is his teammate Rafal Majka, I’m not sure I trust him. And I sure don’t trust Schumacher or Rebellin who are also racing on the orange CCC team, but that’s another issue and I shouldn’t be putting Majka in the same paragraph. But he shouldn’t wink at the camera while he is crushing everyone on a climb; it’s a little like the Italian Cobra Riccò taunting everyone for not keeping up.
I digress. Here is a start list. Consider this one’s warm up VSP for the Tour de France.
Don’t forget, points go toward great end-of-season prizes.

Almost missed this one.
Once again, Astana can go fuck themselves (although glad to hear Nibbles at least appears to be making an effort to keep the stink off).

I know a few people have had the same issue I have when trying to enter my five picks in the "VSP Picks" section. Instead of 5 boxes to fill in the names of the 5 picks, there is only one box so I am only able to make one pick. I have exhausted what little computer knowledge I have and have not been able to change any of the settings on my computer that results in 5 boxes showing up. I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11. If I log into the Velominati site using my smart phone the 5 boxes show up, so I can actually make my 5 picks, but I would like to be able to do it from my laptop and I am perplexed as to what I need to do to make the 5 boxes appear. Any suggestions or solutions?? Thanks. Dan

The profiles are available on steephill.tv. Only one mountain top finish. One other stage has a cat 1 climb ending within 20k of the finish...the rest, other than the two TTs look like they could be bunch sprint finishes. meh.
