The format
How It Worked
Draft your team
Before the Tour de France began, each player drafted a stable of six real riders across four tiers — from the superstars to the longshots — with the underdog tiers worth bonus point multipliers, so a bold pick could pay off big.
Score every stage
Across all 21 stages, your riders earned points three ways: for their stage finishes, for how high they sat in the overall race standings each day, and for bonus predictions like who'd win a marquee stage or hold the jerseys.
Climb the standings — for a cause
After every stage the live leaderboard updated alongside a recap from 'Munro,' our resident commentator, and the highest points total after three weeks took the title. Every entry supported World Bicycle Relief, putting bikes in the hands of people whose lives change the moment they get one.
