Fantasy ToB splashPlay Fantasy Tour of Britain for the chance to win a Vitus bike!
Excitement is building ahead of the 2015 Tour of Britain which starts on Sunday in Beaumaris on the Isle of Anglesey. Get ready for eight stages of top-class racing culminating in an exciting criterium around the very heart of London. And if you enter our Fantasy Cycling game you'll be in with a shout of winning a Vitus Zenium Disc road bike worth £819.99!
We've teamed up with Chain Reaction Cycles, who are an event partner and sponsor the Tour's points jersey, to offer a great first prize for top dog in our home tour. Winner of the Tour of Britain standard competition walks away with a Vitus Zenium VR DIsc road bike. And we'll throw in a pair of road.cc socks for every stage winner too!
What's Fantasy Cycling?
It's easy! just pick a team of riders, and if they do well you'll get points. The player with the most points at the end is the winner!
Okay, it's not quite that straightforward. There's a bunch of different things you can get points for, it's not just about who's first over the line. And you can make transfers between stages to optimise your team for the terrain. There's plenty to think about. But the basics are easy to master. Why not have a go? You'll need to be a registered user of the site in order to sign up.

Be fair, sometimes they do relate to bikes. There is the occasional "cyclist dismount" sign placed there for no discernable reason whatsoever.

I think this is a deliberate intimidation attempt that's gone a bit far, because that was too close. Looks like a left hand drive to me, that would...
