Please note: Teams recently added to this league may have to wait up to 2 hours to appear. Also, only submitted teams will appear in the league once teams start scoring points.

So I guess from tomorrow, we should be seeing all the teams up.

Lads and lassies as Tiny said in the past be careful who's on your teams. I don't think Barloworld are in this years Tour and a few have chosen their riders, e.g. Pedros Delgados. Also I don't think Zabel is in it this year either, isn't he with Astana now?

BTW anyone see the US Olympic Road team. Wooo Weee that's one heck of a strong team, all ace riders in the pro tour. Also see that Confidis ain't going to renew their Pro Tour Licence!

no Barloworld,
awwww crap,
thats me back to the drawing board

Hi Hungrycol, I'm pretty sure Barloworld are in the tour this year and that Zabel is still with Milram.

ya Barloworld are in, but i did have one cyclist picked who had a red line drawn over him. He wasnt starting the TdF, so I swapped him out.
Its a quick visual way to see if you have a proper team

Sorry List I was looking at didn't have Barloworld.

I looked too quickly at the last picture I saw of Zabel and saw he was wearing blue... assumed Astana... Oops I did it again...

I love that myself, love it I tells you. I am going to drive around with my head out of a car window for the next 3 weeks shouting encouragement to cyclists. Watch out now.

I need to get a Tour style horn installed on the car as well.

TG4 are not showing the tour online as they advertised, instead we have tennis from Wimbleton ! :mad:

But you can also watch free online with reasonable picture quality on Danish Sputnik TV here [URL="mms://80.160.76.117/tv2sputnik3"]mms://80.160.76.117/tv2sputnik3 [/URL]

While simultaneously listening to the Eurosport english commentary with Sean Kelly at http://eurosport.yahoo.com/audioplayer.html

Ehhh no, they are showing it. I am watching it right now on TG4 online!! And also watching the tennis at the same time, on the same site and on the same laptop. Doesn't get much better than that!

The cycling is the second link in the right hand side menu.

Hehe Women in shorts skirts and Men in tights all at once.

Yes, TG4.tv is your best bet to watch it from work, with the eurosport live commentary.

I entered: Team GoGadgetGo

Aiming for the upper echelons of mediocrioty
(I hadn't the slightest clue who to pick, I just
went by the cost of each rider and who I could afford
after that).

Thanks all got it on TG4 website. Liggett and Sherwin are class.

I never thought I'd see that, I used to hate them on C4. Eurosport is the only way for me.

I reckon the TG4 commentators will take over from Monday after the tennis is done.
