What?  Yeah, we’re kidding about the ESPN part, but now you can create your own fantasy bike team to race the classics.  The official press release from ProBikePool.com is after the break, but this looks pretty cool if you’re going to be sitting around watching the races anyway, you may as well play Director Sportif and try to win some money.
You can register and pick a team for Milan-San Remo, which starts this weekend for free.  If you want to participate in the next six classics, ya gotta pay to play.  The other events are:
TOUR OF FLANDERS
GHENT – WEVELGEM
PARIS – ROUBAIX
AMSTEL GOLD RACE
LA FLÈCHE WALLONNE
LIÈGE – BASTOGNE – LIÈGE
Here’s your chance to direct a pro cycling team!
2) Go to the Classics menu and select Milan-San Remo
3) Pick your riders in 8 pre-selected groups
Then just manage your team and win! You can even sign up to race all seven Classics, with a chance to win cash, prizes and a $4000 Kuota Kebel. Don’t wait! Milan-San Remo rolls this Saturday, so register today at www.probikepool.com.
