It was truly a low point for the 2010 Tour de France. Such a disappointment. A heartbreaker. My performance in the fantasy cycling challenge was a full-fledged disaster. This year is on course to be another sad scene. I don’t know what I’m doing. I’ve spent nearly all my money, and it’s just the start. Plus I can’t help but choose riders for sentimental reasons. Does anybody have some suggestions on how I can avoid another train wreck? To participate in the challenge, sign up by 11:59pm Pacific time at: http://nbcfantasy.stats.com/cycling/index.asp.
Luckily, there are some alternative contests for folks like me who are psychologically scarred by the fantasy thing. I have been able to master the Izod Race for the Podium contest, which just requires signing in with a secret word revealed during Versus coverage each day. But if you miss it, they’ll even give you the word! I can do that! Log in here: http://versus.promo.eprize.com/raceforthepodium/ Today’s word: peloton.
Finally, the Map My Ride challenge invites individual riders and teams to get out and ride, then upload results to be eligible for randomly drawn prizes. Enter here: http://www.mapmyride.com/tdf/.
All of these are via the NBC/Versus web site which also includes the schedule of coverage, race videos, and news. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/42363489/ns/sports-cycling/. Soon we’ll be dreaming of the Tour…
