I'm doing Tour De Lounge during the tour this year. 1000km on the trainer while watching the tour to raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation.

Its going to be mind numbingly boring, but I figure its a good cause, I'll eat and drink less than usual and hopefully I will be fit again at the end of it. When Gabrielle Gate starts talking food and wine I will be pedalling hard to get to the TV to punch him.
I'll have to sign up to the Fantasy TDF League, despite the fact I suck at any form of fantasy league.

welcome m8s
porte & rogers proving popular
wonder if they will be doing the business on separate teams this year
yo Q-man.
Why is Contador getting all the big ones from the experts as being the only chance to stop Froome?
Is he back to his best? and is his team any good?

get ur team in boz
yes and yes, he was brilliant in the vuelta last year - blowing away purito on stage 17 with a withering solo victory. he is still one of the greatest climbers ever, and can attack when others simply can't go with him. see his attack on alp d huez in 2011 when cadel won it, soloing out off the front, he's mental. he got blown out on a couple of stages in the lead up races but he's won all three grand tours remember, he loves this shit.
saxo have picked up michael rogers, who was wiggos road captain last year and is a brutally effective leader - he knows all the numbers of what everyone else can do, see what sky did last year, watch the attacks and just wear them down.
that being said, it is a pretty open field for mine - purito, evans, and froome can all win it
quintana is my outside chance
why did nibali bail this year?
he wants to do it in 2014
why not just do it this year?
Usually it is physically impossible to do the Giro and TDF and win both.
The last bloke to do it died prematurely from drugs. So even that achievement has a lot of ???? to it
Most of the leading TDF contenders use the Giro as a training program rather than look to win it or bypass it altogether.
Even Contador won the Giro and couldn't back up and win the TDF that year and that was around the time he got done for drugs.
The Giro and TDF are usually about 6 weeks apart so the recovery and training time isn't there to be in peak form for that long.
Nibali done and won the Giro and will probably have a serious lash at the Vuelta later this year when he should have recovered enough to have a chance. The TDF would have most likely been a bridge too far particularly with this years course requiring certain types of training with its complexities
