Predict the Rabobank team lineup


Rabobank have put up their own Virtual Directeur Sportif game with some nice prizes to win. The object of the game is to accurately predict the Giro and Tour lineup of the Rabobank cycling team. There is some kind of point system whereby early accuracy gets rewarded but you may change your lineup at any time. First prize is a day in the Rabobank team car during a race, with the real DS ... Take the jump:

Star-divide

Other final prizes include jerseys and tickets to events. There are also monthly winners (who had the best team that month) for every month until the Giro and Tour deadlines of May 7 and June 30. Every week there is one prize for a random competitor who updated his team that week.

To play the game, go to the sign-up form and enter your first name, last name, email and choose a username, password. Wait for the confirmation mail. After signing in, go to 'Mijn Rabo wielerploeg' and pick riders for your teams. All info on the website in Dutch, sorry!

I’ve got this coming Saturdays` Lotto 6 49 covered. Don`t bother buying a ticket if you`re in Canada.

Actually it sounds like

The Rabo DS’s know that the fans would do a better job of picking their squads, either that or they are too lazy to deal with the riders and this way can say “clearly the website shows, Denis, that you are not meant to ride the Giro.”

Jens Voigt doesn’t know where you live, but he knows exactly where you will die.

I think you

have to be in Europe to do it. Doesn’t seem to like my email address.

I can't imagine that's it

but I have no idea what the problem is. Maybe you could ask @denrijn.

I'll ask him

but it doesn’t like something and I don’t understand what.

A frozen 'cross ride from this last weekend. As you may be aware we have had siberian conditions here in the UK with a low of -14 degrees centigrade here on saturday morning. It was a beautiful sunny morning so i layered up and set off for a snowy 'cross ride along a roman road. I checked the thermometer when i got back to find it had been -10 throughout the ride! I had a lot of fun though and the views were spectacular.
