Se for a 1ª etapa da prova, será usado o ciclista que terminou na posição abaixo da pior escolha dos outros concorrentes. Se for outra etapa será usado primeiramente o ciclista que não foi usado na etapa anterior, caso esse ciclista não tenha desistido, seguindo-se o critério anterior.

Quicksart

Unlike other fantasy games, BikeFantasy was designed to allow those with little time to play.

All you need to do is login using your Google account and wait for new races to become available.

Once they do, you will get a notification and can start to pick the winners of each stage.

Generally until 13:00 CET of a stage day – depending on the race schedule – you have to pick one or two riders who you think can win the stage. At the end of the day, the best placed rider out of the two is considered for the General Classification and the Points Classification (continue reading for an explanation of the several classifications).

On Individual Time Trial days it is only possible to pick one rider. On Team Time Trial days BikeFantasy is not played.

The best placed rider is automatically excluded from future picks, you will not be able to pick him again until the end of the race.
