The long awaited Tour de France has arrived. The first stage kicks off July 5 and will air on TV live for 4-6 hours daily over a 3 week period. As is our family tradition, I will be recording each live daily stage and watching it that night. That allows me to better keep up with my...wait for it...Tour de France Fantasy Racing Team.
3 of us cycling buddies "draft" a team (pardon the pun) and award points based on daily performances. Any one with a rider kicked out for blood doping loses all his points for that rider. This happened to me last year. After leading the points for 2 weeks, Michael Rasmussen was kicked out of the race for missing a required off-season drug test. He said he was in Mexico but was really in Italy. I mean, who among us HASN'T used that excuse before?
