Fantasy Le Tour - time is running out

There is still time to join in the fun, but you've only got until Sunday morning 0800 GMT/UTC to enter your teams! We are delighted to confirm that CTS are offering 6 months of its Signature coaching package this year to the lucky runner-up. Through the training you'll learn how to reach higher levels of physical performance and a more in-depth understanding of the techniques, skills, and demands of the sport. To account for the increased attention your performance goals require, CTS allocate two hours of coaching time at the Signature level. This includes a balance of schedule review and modification, phone conversations, and email correspondence. Typically, Signature members call their coach twice a month and communicate via email twice each week. It's a great prize to help you reach your own personal peak this year. These are just some of the great prizes on offer in this year's game.
