That time again. The Tour starts on the 4th.
For those interested in playing in the fantasy league again the link is here... http://fantasycycling.roadcyclinguk.com/default.aspx
If you played last year your login should be the same.
Our mini league is The Corral, and the password is cowboys (lower case 'c'). It may take up to 24 hours to get into the league after you submit your request. Let me know which team name you registered under so I know who to accept requests from. Last year we had several from outside The Corral and our immediate friends.
As to discussion...
Contador looking to pull off the double (Giro-Tour) for the first time since Pantani in 1998.
Tinkoff with favorites for Yellow (Contador) and Green (Sagan). Can they do it? Can they do either?
Froome, Nibali, Contador and Quintana all in the same field for the first time. That's the Big Four right there.
Kittel sitting out this year in poor health opens doors for the sprinters. Cavendish has been very productive this year.
Can an American make it onto the podium? Tejay looked ready earlier this month, but did he peak too soon? Talansky's form clearly not the same as a year ago in June, but maybe that was by design.
This year marks the first ever entry by a team from the continent of Africa.
More cobbles...
Return of the team time trial...
A lot fewer total km's devoted to TT's this year...
