if peeps want an extra (on top of kat's superb work) bit of info in their team and are itching to discover which cheese their team is...

ALLEZ LES EMMENTALS !!!!!

Who comes up with stuff like that ??????

Game Over!  E-E is going to win!  And I can already feel the jealousy of you other teams not having orange jerseys!

Jim

P.S.  Is beer a performance-enhancing drug? At least on a trainer you don't fall off very easily.... 

With the amount of riding you are doing... I think its essential pain relief  

Humph... all these experienced teams have no idea what the sandbaggers newbies have in store.  Practice saying this on each of your rides... "not worthy" so that as we take podium and get kissed on the cheek by triathlon groupies, you can all bow and repeat.

Baroloworld it is!  That's right you've never heard of us, or you wouldn't have shown up!

BARLOWORLD (a.k.a. Newbie Super Losers about to SMOKE THE COMPETITION because we're desperate and dedicated and need to work out more than you do ... you who should get ready to pucker up and look up!  Maybe start by looking up, uh, what Barloworld is).

Barloworld Tour de France

Hot jersey. Wild card. Most international team (six nationalities). Best cheering squad (us).

So I can legitimately claim to represent Indonesia and Germany.  DoloresM2 has got Cuba.  For purposes of this team, I think Sioux Falls could count as a country.  Any other teammates want to weigh in with near or distant international ancestry?  Languages?

Just to let EVERYONE know.... still taking new riders up to the end of the week so please let me know if you still want to join!!!! 

NEW TEAM ANNOUCEMENT:

By special request there is anther team being added to the Tour De France Challenge line up - Agrutibel.

This is a team for riders/participants who are currently injured and may be unable to ride but want to join in the fun and WILL committ to workouts along the lines of the rest of  the teams.

If you want to join this team let myself or Ontherun know and I will start a team thread tonight (Thursday AM for the USA)

Should we set up a separate "smack talking" thread? Or continue it here? I don't want to bombard others in their team threads. That's not nice At least I don't have to spend 5 grand on a bike made of plastic to make myself feel faster...

 Hey - just continue here... its already begun

Introducing the official team jersey of Team Astana ...  backed by Most Glorious Nation Kazakhstan is very proud of them.
