In the meantime, you can study the list and maybe play with this spreadsheet thing that I've knocked up - which may or may not work. Just put a 'y' in the column next to the riders you want to pick and you can see how much your team costs. I could only make the thing work by allowing people to edit it, so please treat it like you would the toilet in a friend's house - so one at a time, and leave it like you found it.
It's a even numbered year, so tradition dictates that the peloton will be taking a clockwise trip around France - after starting off in the Netherlands, that is.
You can also fly through the route with this video, which is right up there with Avatar with it's high tech production values.
As usual, the folks at Cyclingnews have done their trusty Tour De France guide, which should give you some pointers as to who might do well this year and which are the key stages. Don't think that just beacause the first few days are in the flatlands that there'll be no excitement in the first week. There'll be some cobbles, and if you were with us for stage 1 and 2 of the Giro D'Italia, you'll know that the Dutch roads can cause trouble, with many a rider hitting the deck and baring some arse flesh.
