TDF fantasy league - by Performance
I must admit, I never understood the popularity of fantasy sports, my impression is they seemed like a bunch of sports geeks spending countless hours mulling over player stats before putting together their teams.
But this is something I could get into, not so much for the prizes, but to see how my picks match up against Bob Roll's picks each stage.
I'll guess I'd better start crunching numbers before I pick my team.
Anyone else in?

Throw in Floyd for GC and I think you've got a winner. Problem is, you're way over your salary cap now.

This guy they call Vino looks pretty tough, maybe I'll put him at the top of my list.
Or there this guy Kloden, I always loved the German riders. And I heard he's an excellent team mate who works his a** off supporting other riders, and he's been on the podium in Paris so he too might be a good choice (the guy behind him looks tough as nails also, another consideration to the team, almost like those Mennonites I've heard about.

In all seriousness, without over analyzing things and in no particular order:
1. Evans (he has one of the best, Popovych's wheel to suck on)
2. Dennis Menchov
3. Andy Schleck (especially with brother Frank as a team mate)
4. Sastre
5. Cunego
6. Thor
7. David Millar
8. Jens Voight
9. Valverde
10. Mauricio Soler
We'll see if this wins me a new bike..

Here's my current team. I realized that my team is pretty front loaded and I maybe should have put faith in one top rider instead of two. Esp. since I don't know who any of the support riders are. Maybe I need to make a 2nd team.
EVANS Cadel
VALVERDE Alejandro
VOECKLER Thomas
MILLAR David
FOFONOV Dmitriy
GARCIA ACOSTA Vicente
LOWE Trent

Can someone post a link to the sign-up page? I can find the Terms and Conditions and the Rule pages, but can't find the link to sign-up.
Yes, I'm a computer idiot.
