Rules Official

Everything you need to know to build your team and dominate the standings.

1Championship Rules

Compete against teams from around the world to become the fantasy manager who will win the champion's trophy.

  • With a budget of 500 fantamillions create your squad of 30 riders (at least 3 under 25).
  • You will compete in all UCI World Tour 2025 events, plus European and World Championships.
  • For each race you must field 9 riders. The more riders that finish in the top positions, the more points your team will score.
  • Check the points table for more information on how points are calculated.
  • Set your lineup at least 15 minutes before the race starts.
  • For each race day you can select the captain of the day.
  • Before each stage race you can choose the captain for each classification: general, KOM, points and youth. Once the stage race has started, your choices cannot be changed.
  • If two or more teams have the same score in the standings, the better position will be awarded to the player who submitted their lineup first (time of submission).
  • You will have 15 trades at team creation. For each event you participate in you get 1 free trade, plus every 6 events you participate in you get an additional 3 bonus trades.
  • You can only trade riders outside of competitions. If a rider is racing a competition they cannot be sold or bought.
  • FantaCycling will rate riders at the end of each race (in a dedicated TOP & FLOP section) with appreciation or depreciation values. Ratings range from +10 (for top performers) to -10 (for flops). The FantaCycling editorial team will also consider depreciation if a rider does not compete for more than 3 months.
  • It is possible to earn extra fantamillions through capital gains on rider trades.
  • Players who register late will be able to compete in individual seasonal trophies.
  • Any disqualification (for any reason) of a rider will NOT result in the loss of their previously earned points.

2League Rules

Compete in a private or public league, made up of a maximum of 20 fantasy-friends for auction leagues and a maximum of 100 fantasy-friends for quotation leagues.

Customise the scoring rules and race calendar, making your FantaCycling unique. You can choose to include or exclude ProSeries races and live score calculations.

Team creation modes

Quotation

Allows each user to create their own team. Default setting: budget of 500 fantamillions for 30 riders. It is possible to vary the budget as desired and the number of riders from a minimum of 9 to a maximum of 50.

Offline Auction

Use the rider list to select your favourites and hold the auction with your friends. In this case the league administrator will choose the total budget to spend.

Sealed Bid Auction

Use the rider list to select your 30 favourite riders and bid. In this case the league administrator will create the auction session with a start and end date/time. After each session you will see a summary of all riders purchased by each team in the league.

NEW Live Auction!

The administrator(s) will select riders to be auctioned among all league participants, with an open bidding mechanism.

3Special Event

During the season you can play some special events associated with some of the most famous races in the cycling world. Our editorial team will work to make the event full of content and prizes.

Example of a sponsored special event: the fantasy manager will compose their team of 9 riders with a budget of 150 fantamillions.
