Kenda Fantsy Cycling League
See if you can manage a better cycling team than me. Sign up at the Versus site, then join the "Rochester, MN" league to play directly against me. I guess that if you win the overall Versus league, you get a chance to go to next years tour. In France.
Then there's also the Fly to the Finish sweepstakes. Watch the TV coverage daily for a code word. Then also look at the online widget page for another code word. Another codeword can be found VersusWap.com and on Bicycling.com under "Sponsored Features".
Finally, if you head over to the TDF FanZone, you can enter more drawings buy making your guess' in the "Unscramble Words" and "Who am I?" contests.
Good luck, and don't forget to join the league. (Even if you don't live in Rochester.)

I joined up but picking riders was interesting being as I don't actively follow pro cycling enough to know who the riders to watch are. Ended up just looking for names I recognized.

Actually, that is sorta my approach to. Except for the really big names, I don't know enough about the team rosters or thier specialitys to think I'll do well. But I figure it's worth a shot.

I forgot to mention that the first 5 stages are for "practice". After stage 5 the scores are cleared and the team selections are finalized. So the real scoring starts with the first mountain stage to Super Besse.

My mistake. The first 4 stages are practice. The Scoring starts with todays stage 5.
And heres the points breakdown (found on the Versus message boards)-
