This time around, we are combining your Tour de France knowledge with your Blogazoidal experience to bring you the most exciting, unique contest ever! (Well, kinda...) I would encourage the contestants to go to the Tour de France website for the route map with the descriptions of each stage and team for all the details to help you with your answers.
In lieu of a lot of hype, let's go over the rules and get right to the questions. So, here goes and best of luck to everyone!

Questions:
1. As you know, the Tour de France starts this Saturday with the Prologue Individual Time Trial. This very short ITT will declare the first wearer of the leader's Yellow Jersey. Who will win this Prologue ITT?
2. Of the first 6 stages, 5 are considered sprint finish stages. Which one of the big sprinters will win the most stages in this first 6 days of racing?
3. Stage 9 on Monday, July 9 is the first Individual Time Trial of length. Who will win this ITT?
4. Who will hold the leader's Yellow Jersey on the first rest day, Tuesday July 10?
5. In honor of the London Olympic Games, which begin almost immediately following the finish of the Tour, we have our Tie-Breaker question! How many total Blogazoidal viewers within the month of June 2012 are from Great Britain? (Hint: it is a number between 1 and 200)
Good luck everyone and I'm looking forward to awarding our great prizes to our winners! Until then, I'll...
See you out on the road,
Bob
If there is a tie for the tiebreaker will it be decided by a donut eat and sprint contest.
