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.

parisbound0008-11-2026 - there needs to be space in life for pointless comments!Ketterechts08-11-2026
- That is a very lazy way of putting it but so far on this website it seems like everyone is happy to look at everything lazily, even things that annoy them intensely. All they want to do is state their feeling and position but ask most to analyse a problem or come up with solutions or improvements and you’re stunned by silence. Nobody even really knows how this all happens. It’s very simple and quick to just say the UCI did it but I bet you they didn’t, I bet you not more than 2 people were involved, more likely just 1. The UCI may be ultimately responsible but it is not their decision, this is about hierarchy, power and delegation. The fact that protest is possible also means it isn’t over and that MORE people could get involved for a thorough review which could throw up anything. It is highly likely it was a sole commissar who decided and has that power in a first round. Therein might lie the problem the UCI has to consider, is it acceptable to give so much authority to one single person when it is quite possible for them to have a natural bias or be too easily susceptible to imposed bias. Who is to say an individual in this position isn’t susceptible to collaboration with outside players with interests in the results, nations, families, teams, betting companies, etc. On the one hand we have sports where these problems have been worked on way more to reduce such problems, on the other hand we have sports with far stricter and more draconian rules not even concerning safety or obstruction that nobody really questions like false starts or stepping out of lane or zones in athletics. If cycling hastowork on itself, it would be good if protagonists (all kinds) would start doing a little more than just moaning over outcomes.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Yes, so why not make comments less pointless?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- What a race! I didn't expect Vanthourenhout to collapse like that, and Wyseure did take the fight to Nys, but there was no doubt at the end. I also wonder what Aubin Sparfel would be capable of were he to race in the elites now. In the U23 ranks he is making good work of Giel Lejeune, who himself is among the better riders in the elites, and a top 10 contender in the big races (3rd at Kleebergcross, 8th at Berencross and 5th at Heerderstrand). In the French Cup, Sparfel is significantly better than Romain Debord (8th at Koppenbergcross and 10th at the Euros) and Rémi Lelandais (12th at Koppenbergcross and 19th at the Euros).
Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026 - There really was nothing in it. Schreiber was so much faster, and Brand was fighting to stay in the wheel in the sprint. Schreiber did move a bit, but to say she closed the door doesn't make sense because Brand couldn't enter it anyway, abd she wasn't impeded.Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026
- He should have been allowed to go to Movistar. Right now both arent a good fit for each other and are just wasting each other's time and effortabstractengineer08-11-2026
