You need to select 36 riders from 7 groups. For example, you may choose two riders from group A which exists from Alberto Contador, Alexander Kristoff, Peter Sagan and Alejandro Valverde. A complete overview of how the riders are divided in the groups can be found here: ryttere. The total of riders per group can be found under the rules header of this page.

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 Alberto Contador from group A. When Valverde finishes 5th in the general classification of the Tour de France (Tour cat. 1) and Contador wins the Tour de France, you will receive 90 points for Valverde and 180 points for Contador.

Suppose you created a second team with Peter Sagan and Alejandro Valverde. In La Flèche Wallonne (Classics Cat. 2) Valverde becomes 2nd and Sagan 23rd, in this case you will get 60 points for Valverde and 0 points for Sagan. In the Classics Cat. 2 only the top 20 scores points for your team.

The points for the extra predictions only count for the general classification and not for the first period classification and the Tour classification.

The ryttere are divided into groups and you can find them here below.
