The Fantasy Tour de France (budget) starts on Saturday 1 July 2023 at 12:55.
You have a budget of 255 million euro to buy 17 riders for the starting line up and 55 million euro budget to pick 5 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!
NEW! When a rider does not start in a stage, the rider with a value closest to that of the rider withdrawn from the race takes his place.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 $27,31/€12.50/£21,49 per team and will start with a guaranteed amount of $21,850/€20,000/£17,200 in prizes. The first prize will be $3,825 USD/€3,500/£3000! (161 GC prizes).
