It is time for the annual Tour de France Fantasy Picks. This year should be interesting with Contador still being allowed to race, Cavendish talking mad trash and all the drama that always happens! This year’s Tour looks to be one of the most exciting! Here are the details of the fantasy picks!
There will be points given for each correct pick for the following stages and the general classification. The points value of each stage and classification is listed in parentheses before the stage and classification. The person with the most points wins the Grand Prize Package! There will also be second and third place prize packages! In the case of a tie, the highest number of stage picks will break the tie.
Just copy the following list, list your pick for the win next to each stage and classification and post your list of picks as a comment to the blog. This way we can all follow who is leading the competition. Your picks need to be submitted by Friday night, July 1 since the Le Tour starts on Saturday, July 2!
