Should I believe this countdown?
If you enter a team name, as of 11.13pm EST on Feb 1st, it says I have to wait 72.8 more hours. I know I'm of the impatient type but usually by Feb 1st our VDS overlords have sent us their new set of rules for the year...

Have you tried changing 2011 to 2012 in the top right corner?
Rider prices, rules, calendar are all there.
I saw that actually but since it was pointing to the 2011 rules...
I sort of dismissed it thinking there would be additional changes in terms of point structure, etc… I thought this had been discussed but without a final decision. So I guess that’s been set. My bad…
The date for the start of the game has changed to Feb. 5
and a lot of the dates in the race calendar is wrong, at least if you compare the dates to the dates in the UCI European calendar, but who knows, maybe the VDS is right and the UCI is wrong ;)
and the Contador decision on the 6th
one of these is likely to happen, anyway

this is the only countdown i believe in.

My eyes!
My ears! I need brain bleach.

i just google imaged brainwash and grabbed the first pic.

Without clicking, I'm guessing that there may be...
…Finality of some kind involved in this particular Countdown?
there just may be.

Mine too.
I’m just worried that they are going to change the rider prices before the official opening….?
That would really mess my head up.
(After all the time I spent hunting for bargains. Ricco only 1pt!)
All 2012 teams will be deleted at the opening
just to avoid the points problem.

I have mine in a spreadsheet
- yes, geek alert – so I’ll find out once I come up with a name and can register my team. The name bit is actually the hardest part of this. All the rest is simply “Oh, I like you!”.

ahh, Josh
you gotta pay attention throughout the year. Ya know? Jot down some notes from all the threads. That’s how I got 2 of the 3 VDS names I used.
“Playing With Podium Girls” – came from a live thread in ‘08 where Paolo Bettini was messing around before stepping up on stage and someone said something like "aww, Paolo’s playing around with the podium girls."
“Komanda Dobrodetel” – the “Komanda” (means “team” in Russian) came from Holmovka in a live thread. I thought it sounded cool so worked it in to “Team Virtue” (“virtue” inspired by the Va state flag).
So there you go. Sift thru last year’s live threads and have at it. Picking a clever name is OVER half the fun.
That was fast...I've got my team narrowed down to 116 possible guys
I’m doing a U-26 team this year…should get better results than last year
It's easier to just call it Tour of Colorado
Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger...
