road.cc Fantasy Cycling with Wiggle now open!

The smell of embrocation and fear, the sound of gears being checked, freehubs spun and helmets clicked shut… this is it folks, we’re back racing! And this year we’ve teamed up with Wiggle to bring you a full season of Fantasy Cycling with prizes for every race, from our curtain opener, the Tour Down Under, right through to the last hurrah at the Tour of Beijing.

Introducing road.cc Fantasy Cycling with Wiggle

We’ve been beavering away through the off season and the game is back and better than ever. road.cc Fantasy Cycling with Wiggle will take in 26 competitions right through the professional season. All the Grand Tours will be there, of course, as well as a whole raft of supporting tours and classics. And, for the first time, women’s racing too: we’ll be covering the women’s World Cup series this year, nine races from March through to August.

Lots of great prizes to be won

Thanks to Wiggle we’ll have plenty of great prizes to give away, and this year there’ll be something to be won on every stage of every race! As well as that there’ll be prizes for the winners of each competition, and sometimes we’ll be giving prizes away just for turning up…

Get started now!

Head over to fantasy.road.cc to join up. You need to be registered on road.cc to play.

Go premium: just £10 for the season.

There’s more reasons than ever to join the premium game this year! With prizes for every stage of every race this season there’s more chances to win, and we’ve added a bunch of extra features to premium:

Stage updates: we’ll email you after every stage to let you know how your team got on.

Team updates: if a rider in your team is removed from the roster (if they withdraw, or are disqualified during a race) then you’ll get notified so you can swap them out. Never start with a weakened team again.

New badges: we’ve redesigned the way the badges work so there’s a new set to play for with every competition. how many will you light up over the course of a season? we’ll keep a tally on your dashboard.
