Doug,

Since you asked, I'm going to shamelessly self-promote my site (address in my signature). We offer a One-Day Classics league with 12 great races like Paris-Roubaix, Milan-San Remo, etc. Further, we offer each of the three Grand Tours.
Our Giro is well underway and, unlike cyclingnews, we don't allow late additions as this gives late-comers a competitive advantage.

The site is fully "interactive". Members pick a team of 14 riders for each Grand Tour and can start 9 per day. Members who know the courses and the riders and manage their team will do the best. You pick new riders for every event and never stuck with tired or injured guys all season.

Currently, we have over 200 members representing 26 countries and we are expecting this number to explode for the TdF.

Our site is FREE to play (donations accepted) but we do not offer prizes. Just for the joy of competing with other experts.

Keep us in mind as the TdF approaches.

Do not be a 'shame' to plug in your site. You clearly offer a very good service and are active here.

What I hate is to see salesmen/reps put anonymousplugs like - "I just got such and such frame and love it"

Many of those are sales reps getting attention to their product.

You, like me are actually active here and help people. Nothing wrong with letting people know who you actually are. I prefer that than be anonymous.

Me? I do not hide who I am. Everyone knows who I am and the shop I run.
