I'd like to invite you to participate in a rather original project. It is an independent fantasy competition in which you control one WorldTour team, sign riders to long-term contracts via auctions, and score points based on the real-life outcome. Pretty much makes you feel like a real team owner.
This started in January 2012.
If you'd like to try it out, sign up here:
