    Cool. I was doing great in the Podium Cafe's one last year until Michael "Bovine Haemoglobin" Rasmussen got kicked out.

    I see you can do a mini-league, which would allow us all to play against eachother.

    Deadly. Picking my team now. The list isn't great. Some riders who aren't in the Tour are listed there and some who are riding aren't there.

    I had picked a great line up, then I realised that you have to pick an actual team too.

    A rapid entry team from someone that knows squat about racing. I made sure to pick the cheapest guy though, good value for money no doubt.

    Verbal Diarrhoea

    You're so mean!

    I looked at yours to see if my team was totally rubbish (it is), but was heartened to see you'd chosen HIgh Road as your team too :D
