In addition to manager competitions for about 100 races each year, there are also games for the seasoned nerd (like LosBrolin and me):

Fantasy Grand Tours: one-off games for grand tours where 15-20 DSs compile nine-man squads through auction rounds with the participating riders. Tour Fantasy just finished http://firstcycling.com/fcfstart.php, Vuelta-fantasy coming up

Season Fantasy: the ultimate game, dynasty fantasy game where 15-20 DSs compile 20-30 riders squads through drafts and trades in two windows each season. Current teams here http://firstcycling.com/fcfseason.php, intake of new managers before 2018-season sets off in Januray

Sign up for this game all y’all. It’s the best game out there imo. You can see it explained above. First race is TdU.

Thanks Jspear. First four races of the season are opened, complete calendar can be found here http://firstcycling.com/manager.php?aar=2018&k=komplett#r2.

It has all WT-races, all HC-races (I think) and the best .1-categorized plus most important U23-races in addition to cult classics like Tro-Bro Leon. Something for nerds of all hues, like me.

Love,

You’re not forced into picking GC riders, sprinters, etc. you can pick any 9 riders you want. There’s no budget. Find your own ration of sprinters vs GC riders, pick who you think will be the best and go from there.
