Cycling
Do you think that you can build the ultimate Tour de France team? Or know some hidden gems that could star in the Grand Boucle? We've got just the fantasy cycling game for you. START Sunday, July 5 at 14:00 CET
We've just launched CyclingUpToDate's FREE Tour de France Manager to give you a chance to construct a team of Tour de France contenders, pick your team for every stage, and rack up points - then compare it to all players or join sub-leagues with friends, colleagues, and family.
This game is simple: You have a budget of 400 million euros to select 25 riders for your main team. With every stage, you are able to select 8 riders and put your substitutions in order. Only the riders in your stage team will score points during that stage.
You are able to select your stage team till the start of a stage, meaning that savvy players will be able to log in and update their selections before each stage - giving them the best chances to tailor their team and score more points.
When a rider drops out before the stage start, he will be replaced by the next substitute still in the race. The top 25 of every stage score points. Also the top 25 of the Final Classifcation of the race score points.
These General Classification points are awarded at the end of the final stage. All 25 riders of your main team will score points if they end up in the top 25.

Create your ultimate Tour de France team
With an extensive budget, it's possible to create a super-team featuring Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel. Thinking outside the box, players can rely on a sprinting powerhouse team with Tim Merlier, Olav Kooij and Jasper Philipsen.
Extra Time to Finalize Your Team
Unlike most Fantasy Tour de France games, the FREE Tour de France Manager starts with Stage 2.
That means you have until Sunday, July 5 at 14:00 CET to create and submit your team.
Looking for a bigger challenge? Join the paid Fantasy Tour de France and compete for at least €8,500 in guaranteed prizes, including a €1,000 first prize.
Looking for points where many players might miss out? Why not select some breakaway specialists who could light up the race. If your gamble pays off, you could see yourself bag huge points wins as many other players miss out.
You can see your rankings with all game players throughout, but sub-leagues mean you can create your own to play with friends, colleagues and family.
Registration is quick and easy. The game will be live from 3 pm on July 5th as stage 2 will form the first awarding of points - put together your team here for free.

- There was once a time when Lance was supremely popular and he used his artificial "It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life" persona to lead his mob in going after Greg. There was no one Lance did not abuse in protecting his phony hero image. Lance promoted himself as a divine megastar and he let down millions of cancer victims and gullible devotees who clung far too long to the charade. Lance is the epitome of a corrupt person and because of his power, many around him, including business enterprises, succumbed to the evil. All who got in Armstrong's way were mercilessly attacked by him and his minions. This remarkably continues today with a new generation. LeMond was a number one enemy and paid a huge price.

leedorney02-11-2026 - Watch the interview on youtube. I don't speak French. I do speak English and Spanish and you can hear it in his voice. Years ago LeMond had real personal problems I imagine in no small part because of Armstrong. then Armstrong goes round "full blast" re: LeMond having drinking and drug problems. The same way Andreu was expelled from mainstream cycling so was LeMond. On the positive side the clips of the ride and chatting with old teammates and was good. To seemed like a fun day and experience and good reason brush up his French.atom02-11-2026
- and another no-news article around the ‚2 tokyo jogging rounds‘ headline, this time spiced with some days old ‚news‘ that the LA and japan vacation trips come during or after the tdf route release. i am getting more and more annoyed by this time-stealing no-news crap. but who am i to complain? nobody forces me to come back for more ‚news‘ day after day …Ketterechts02-11-2026
- It would likely be a very steep section of 4.1 km, not changing the average gradient considerably, with the climb remaining 10.1 km at 11.8%. It would reach 20% on the gravel. It would start 1.6 km in, and finish with 4.2 km left to climb (before the short final descent)
