peloton, time trial, pyrenees and musette worked, too. Could probably just dig up last years thread and try all those codes.

Dang, somebody posted a list the other day that must've had 30 code names but now I can't find it.
edit: found them HERE (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=319042)

Has anyone won anything on the wheel of fortune thing after entering the codes? I'm batting goose eggs so far!

the way the rules say the game is set up is at certain pre-determinded times it unlocks an instant win prize, 37 to be exact. the first person to log in using a code when the prize is unlocked wins it. therefore it wouldn't be too wise to just sit there and plug all the codes in for 20 min straight. as the prizes are most likely spread throughout the length of the tour. the grand prize will be drawn on the 30th from the pot of all code entrys.

Looks like they repeated "born from jets" again.

Tomorrow's code is rumored to be "Volvos suck".
(Edit: I don't hate Volvos. I just think it would be funny if Saab got a bit more edgy with their code words.)
Gee3
07-14-07, 09:51 AM
Did anyone get today's phrase? Or is it Volvos suck! haha!
Thanks everyone for helping out! Hopefully one of us will win something!

i've put my codes in every day and all i get is... sorry... as long as i win the car and cervelo i don't care about a damn jersey... lol... how many of you entered @ competitive cyclist.com that's sure a sweet ride!

I tried sprint again and it said I already entered it.
But they just said "power" was today's word. List updated.
Wxguesser - I've yet to win anything on the spin either. I heard on another froum someone did, but I'm not sure how true that is. Hopefully, if it's not me, someone here wins something!

7-26-07 - They just said the word was CERVELO... but they said that earleir in the Tour. And when i entered it I got the following message:
Since you've entered all of the codes, the gear won't move. But keep watching the Tour de France July 7th - 29th LIVE on VERSUS and check back often for future events and promotions.
Anyone else getting this too?
What's up with reusing old words we can't enter?
