Watchin' you. Writing it all down.
Okay here it is. Pick the top 10. Points, Mountain, and Young Rider Jerseys. And the Top Team.

Scoring will be 10 points for each jersey correct and 5 points if your choice is 2-5 in that competition. The team pick will be worth 10 points.

In the Top 10 exact picks are worth 20 points with a bonus of 10 points for the race winner. Picks that are within the top 10 but not in the place you say will be worth 10 points.

And lastly, stage wins by any of your picks are worth 5 bonus points.

The winner will get some sorta prize from my bike closet. How nice it is depends on how much I like you....... :rofl: Seriously, it won't be crap. Well it might be but you'd be ingrateful if you called me on it.

Hopefully that's complicated enough for y'all. Entries are to be in by midnight Sunday July2nd. If they aren't you better have a damn good excuse.

EDIT: I changed my mind. Pick the TOP 10.

I'm not ignoring this, just stewing over my choices still. Crap, I hope they aren't all kicked out for drugs!

Need a points and young rider and a team.

Evans needs to be accounted for or he is going to cause some folks a real headache.

I pick Landis to win. This top 10 will take too much work/thinking, although it'll include Hincapie, Basso, Ullrich, and Leipheimer.

I don't know enough about the ins and outs of racing to really know what I'm talking about, but with Basso and Ullrich out, things are shaping up really nicely for Landis, Vinokourov, and Leipheimer. I also think that whoever ends up being "the man" for Discovery is sitting pretty - it's hard to ignore the strength of that team.

I'm routing for Rasmussen though.
