Excellent, the Tour is back!

Have you designed the route yet?

I think Lance will defend his title comfortably. Very strong team he has there! Contador suspended

I like the look of Team Bianchi...

DAOTEC will not be pleased that you published the startlist before him.

Erm...backstory?

 

[Anonymous]

Erm...backstory?

Backstory.. Grizzly tour is the legendary off season race. Its the fourth grand tour, no further explanation is needed, its reputation precedes it.

Of course its not nearly so meaningful this year with no team sky present

Stage 21 is evil

what do you think about the road?

A prologue, 3 ITT's, a TTT and Paris-Roubaix your brutal!
I've checked out parts of the route wiil do more later.
To the confused this is a fantasy tour that is fun for the off season.
I've Googled some of the route and so far I have found stages from 1948, 1950, 1990, 2003 TDF.
I have no info on the aussie stages.
But it's a no brainer I pick Cancellera for the prologue.

thanks rabunal

Stage 21 was stage 15 of the 1988 TDF won by Laudelino Cubino

[Eric8-A]

I'm curious as to what this is

 

[flyor64]

I'm curious as to what this is

See Krebs post above...fun for the board is all.

Rabunal will keep us posted daily with the results...it's a pretty good way to kill off a month of off-season.

Some would even say last year's race was somewhat contentious

Great win of Fabian Cancellara, the Olympic Champion....

Great ride of Lance Armstrong (6th), Denis Menchov, Vicenzo Nibali and Joaquin Rodriguez have already lost a bit of time...

Farrar 10th seems to have a great shape...

What a ride for Michael Matthews (5e) !!!!

I knew MM should have ridden the U23 TT as well.

I'm going with Liquigas for the win

I anxiously await the results from the TTT.

The Shack has a strong team though. Wouldnt count Saxo out either.

Yea...no. Last year, this was the only race The Uniballer won, and it was a complete farce. Terrible race, and executed extremely poorly. Anyone could see that Armstrong didn't have it last year...well, everyone except for rabunal. I guess it is fitting that a fake tour is the only thing he won last year...

 

[krebs303]

Tour de Grizzly is the cleanest of the GT's . Nobody has tested positive.
I will admit Armstrong's win last was rather surprising. But it took it's toll and he suffered at the TDF.
Looking forward to the Paris-Roubaix stage.
