Tour de France 2009

[Squawk]

Anyone else counting down the days? It all starts on July 4. Can't wait!

[Rams52]

Fairly sure that SBS is showing all stages live on one of their digital channels! Can't wait as well, a few late nights coming up I think.

Loved last years race. Can't believe how quickly it's come around again!

What are Evans chances this year? Is he still a serious contender?

[dedja]

I fear Cadel needs to change teams to win the big one ... they're just not strong enough to support him through 3 weeks.

[Pidge]

It will all be live on SBS 2.

Very true. There isnt a great deal of depth in his team.

I watched bits and pieces last year, I think I'm going to really get into it this time around!

[PLETTONIC]

Cadel is a chance, his team is better than last years with the inclusion of Dekker and Gilbert also will be good if Matthew Lloyd gets a gig as well as he is a good young climber who will be at Cadels side for a long while in the hills. Rogers should run top 10 as well but he wont have as much support as Evans due to the diversity of his team.
The one I like though is Andy Schlek is a very good rider in the strongest team so is a bit of value. Get a bit of a bank early by continuously backing Cavendish in the sprint stages wont be big odds but is the best going around. Other chances for the overall will be the usual crew of Contador, Sastre and Menchov. Armstrong wont win this year!!

[Columbo]

Really looking forward to this years tour, even better than ive got holidays for the first 2 weeks so the late nights arent a problem.
For those that like a read..there is a great article about our South Aussie legend Stuart O'Grady in this months Inside Sport.

The League is called SA Footy
The password is ThomasSeymourHill

BTW I think the min no of teams in a league is 5, but there can be up to 20. I've only just noticed this so haven't studied up much!

Just put my team in waiting on administrator approval.

Don't know much abouth the cycling but this will add a further interest into what is a great sporting event.

Good work!

Speed Demon - you have only picked 3 riders. You need to finish off your selections.

Also, whoever had a team called "Wheels" something or other - you aren't showing up in the league and may need to re-join the league.

What on earth? I picked all 9, or 10 or whatever was required. I've forgotten who my gems were now.

[NFC]

I'm looking at my team right now, I have all 9 riders. It even says "Your Team Is Fully Built".

[MightyEagles]

Speed Eagles is waiting for the go ahead.

Team Pantani is waiting for administrator approval.

What a great month or so with the ashes & the tour on.
