After registration you can start creating your team(s). The teams can be submitted and changed until the start of the game on Tuesday 19 January 2016 1:30.
You have a 345 million budget to buy 25 riders of which you think are going to win the most points in the Cycling Year Game (budget) 2016.
The riders which you select can score points for your team throughout the whole year. In total there are 57 races which count for this Fantasy Cycling Year Game. These races are divided between Tour and Classics. With both the Tour and Classics there are 3 categories. The Giro, Tour de France and Vuelta are category 1. Races like Tirreno-Adriatico, Critérium du Dauphiné and the Eneco Tour are in category 2 and the Giro del Trentino and the USA Pro Challlenge are category 3. With the Classics we also have 3 categories, for more details please check the calendar.
The total of points which you can earn in every category can be found below the header "Points". We will give you 2 examples: You selected Alejandro Valverde and Chris Froome for your team. When Valverde finishes 5th in the general classification of the Tour de France (Tour cat. 1) and Froome wins the Tour de France, you will receive 90 points for Valverde and 180 points for Froome.
Suppose you created a second team with Peter Sagan and Joaquim Rodríguez. In La Flèche Wallonne (Classics Cat. 2) Rodríguez becomes 2nd and Sagan 23rd, in this case you will get 60 points for Rodríguez and 0 points for Sagan. In the Classics Cat. 2 only the top 20 scores points for your team.
Moreover, you fill in the following predictions:
- Winner Giro d'Italia
- Winner Tour de France
