Fantasy Giro D'Italia nearly here!

It's been a while since that nice George Chapman at Velogames last had his Velogames site working, but it looks like it's all systems go for the Fantasy Giro D'Italia to start on Saturday. When entries are open I'll be setting up a minileague and keeping an eye on things via this blog thingy. Instead of filling people's mailboxes with nonsense, you'll have to point your browser over here to see my words of wisdom.

There's the provisional rider list to be looking at until entries allegedly open tomorrow evening. As usual in the fast-moving and drug-infested word of pro cycling, there's already a few non-starters on the list. Franco Pellizotti and Tadej Valjavec have both been naughty boys and won't be on the start-line in Amsterdam.

There's also time to check out who's who and where's where in this year's race over at cycling news, so there'll be no excuses for picking a bunch of overpriced donkeys.
