8
Looks like Bruyneel will finally get #8, the hard way.
Bonus question for 8 points:
Name 8 teams to DNF the Tour de France since 1988 not including this year.
p.s. Bonus points are open to players (LilyBella, you can get some points too).

my own bonus question:
Why are the dice in a plastic baggie?
Does being forced to withdraw before the prologue count?
- Festina (1998)
- Once (1998)
- Banesto (1998)
- Farm Frites (1998)
- Kelme (1998)
- Vitalicio Seguros (1998)
- Riso Scotti (1998)
- Astana (2006)
here is my list I'm short one but I'll make up for it with the bonus quest.
Kelme
PDM (1991)
Festina
Astan-Wurth
T-Mobile
AG2R
Liberty Seguros
and for the bonus:
Evidenced by Catwon's game playing, she is a member of Gamblers Addicted, those are her lucky lucky dice. She likes to smooch and spit on them as her rolling ritual at Vegas...and Catwon will not have anyone...including Marsy touch them or risk her lucky germans off.
panda-I'm impressed and your choices are very close, but I'm looking for DNFs not DNSs (Astana was a DNS)
lilybella-close and very good on the Dutch team
marsey-see lilybella's answer
commesso
What about teams that dropped out of the WOMEN's Tour? I can give you four of those, also from 1998:
- Banesto
- ONCE
- Kelme
- Vitali Cio
And I just found the article for PDM (1991), but can I use that after Lilly? I can cite my sources...
Ooooh, oooh, or I'll add TVM from 1998 if the other ones don't count, and that's 8!
(can you tell I want bonus points?)
Are those special "doped" dice?
waaah
I'm late to the party
PDM 1991 (flu)
Festina 98 - STage 7
TVM 98 Stage 19
Once 98 stage 17
Banesto 98 stage 17
Vitalcio Seguros 98 stage 17
Kelme 98 stage 17
Riso Scotti 98 Stage 17
ooh! I'm not late
I see that Panda chose FF and they weren't in 98
not that I am competitive or anything...
Oh, rats, TVM Farm Frites was the whole team name, but I got excited and separated them. However, I believe that I was the first to come up with 8...
No, not competitive at all!
More importantly did I win QOB?
(queen of the Bonus)
I think only lilly should get a bonus point.
all those caught googling shall be tossed out of competition.
Marscat just wishes she googled faster...
are those gummi dice?
who needs Google when their is cyclingnews? I swear they have ALL the answers. Love them aussies!!
Fuzzy dice!!
and I mean "there"
and I really should be working instead of making useless comments
I want to be sponsored by french fries
aren't farm frites = french fries?
yes they are, thats what made me think about it
I want to be sponsored by fries and beer
Garlic fries and beer...
VB-gets the 8 points for the fully correct answer...
and FLU = EPO injections gone awry
Panda-I feel ashamed not to know what teams dropped out of the Women's tour...
I do think Panda should get some points for being the first up with 7 DNF teams and so should Lily for PDM...how about 1 pt each ????
OV-no points for you with that Commesso choice...
Pabcid-not gummi, travel dice...
so....the dice are in a plastic baggie....so tht when you travel up to altitude and they explode, they don't get all over your other stuff?
garlic fries sound awesome right now...
pab's grubb'n again
i have yet begun to grub!
But...but...I got all of them before VB, just in two different comments! Why don't I get the points? All she had to do was combine my comments and the answers were all right there (pouty face).
(Disclaimer: I'm sure VB didn't REALLY need to combine my answers, but hey, a race is a race!)
ok Panda-I'll give you 7 points because you did have most of them initially...
WOO HOO!!!!
I'm not even disappointed to have come in late on the second bonus post :).
i didn't even get to see this post until after the points were already awarded....
you should keep anything you don't want to lose in plastic baggies---it works for me until the baggies get holes in them.....
X-Bun is at too severe a disadvantge. She can't access the blogs at work.
I think we should declare the whole thing a draw.
They could start the Tour over, perhaps?
pabcid - I'm making up the bonus points which I don't get to answer...bunny and I are both at a disadvantage in this game right now...
