The Tour of California is going to start Saturday February 14 and run till February 22, and the club is going to participate in the tour... fantasy cycling style. You don't have to be a club member to do it.
This year has a deep international field, but the real excitement is around all the great American cyclists that will be there. It is going to look like a US Postal/Discovery Team reunion with seven former teammates who are all now potential GC contenders on their own respective team. They are;
Floyd Landis (Ouch)
Christian Vandevelde (Garmin)
Dave Zabriskie (Garmin)
Lance Armstrong (Astana)
Levi Leipheimer (Astana)
Tyler Hamilton (Rock Racing)
George Hincapie (Columbia)
For the fantasy Tour of California send me your ranking (ycycling@gmail.com) of these seven riders ranked 1-7. I know I am leaving out a lot of good riders who could win, some of them are even Americans, but we are just going to do it out of these former teammates. Their order, regardless of their place, compared to the predicted orders will determine who wins the ranking. A regression model will be used to determine who had the best predictions (dork!). Predictions are due by the 13th of February. The tour will be broadcast on Versus.
