Fantasy Itzulia Basque Country (At least 3,700 USD/3,500 Euro/3,075 GBP in prizes!)

Along with Flanders, the Basque Country is the most cycling-crazy region. In July, the Tour de France starts in Bilbao and this week its own WorldTour race is on the programme. The first stages are relatively easy this year and offer chances to fast men. After that, it's the GC men's turn on the iconic short, steep, narrow climbs with rows of thick crowds along the sides.

Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard starts as favourite, but does not face an easy week. With Enric Mas, David Gaudu, Mikel Landa, Pello Bilbao, Sergio Higuita, the Yates brothers and defending champion Daniel Martínez, the field of competitors is to be savoured.

PREVIEW | Itzulia Basque Country 2023 - Vingegaard, Mas, Landa and Gaudu headline exciting and explosive week of racing

The Fantasy Itzulia Basque Country starts on Monday 3 April 2023 at 13:21.

You have a budget of 170 million euro to buy 15 riders for the starting line up and 32 million euro budget to pick 3 substitutes. You can win points for every stage and for the General Classification.

When a rider does not start in a stage, then the first available substitute takes his place. The points of the drop-out will remain in your total points scored, the points of the substitute will only count from start of the next stage. Be aware that a rider, who is not available on the startlist when the game starts, will not be replaced!

When a rider does not start in a stage, the rider with a value closest to that of the rider withdrawn from the race takes his place. An example: You have Wout van Aert in your team with a value of 15,0 million. As substitutes you have Egan Bernal (27,0 million), Caleb Ewan (11,0 million) and Marc Hirschi (10,0 million). In this example, Ewan will take the place of Van Aert because his value is closest to 15,0 million.

When you have two substitutes with the same difference in value, then the rider with the highest value will take his place. If a rider with a value of 10,5 million, in the above example, is not starting in the race, then Ewan will take his place. If there are two riders with the same difference and the same value, the rider on the highest position of the substitute list will enter your team.

The game will cost €10 per team and will start with a guaranteed amount of $3,700/ €3,500/ £3,075 in prizes. The first prize will be $745/€700/£620 (61 GC prizes).
