Pick up to 5 riders. Any time one of them wins a stage, you bank 100 points. A rider who wins multiple stages scores you 100 pts each time. Bonus: your GC, Points, KOM, and Young rider picks also earn you 100 pts each time they win a stage — so picking Pogačar for GC and your stage pool stacks to 200 pts per stage win.

Picks lock at the Grand Départ on July 4.
The passcode was set when the pool was deployed. Results are validated server-side — the code never touches the leaderboard.
Everyone submits picks before the Grand Départ on July 4, drawn from the confirmed 2026 startlist. Results are entered (or pulled automatically) through the three weeks, and the leaderboard scores itself using the PCS (ProCyclingStats) point scale — the same system used for real-world rankings.
GT.A (GC): 500 · 380 · 340 · 300 · 280 · 260 · 240 · 220 · 210 · 200 … tapering to 25pts for positions 36–75.
GT.B (others): 400 · 290 · 240 · 220 · 200 · 190 · 180 · 170 · 160 · 150 … tapering to 20pts for positions 31–75.
HD scale: 50 · 30 · 18 · 13 · 10 · 7 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1 (top 10 only).
Ties on total points are broken by whoever's predicted winning time is closest to the real thing.
Built from the confirmed preliminary startlist as of June 26 — 117 of 184 riders across all 23 teams. Final rosters land by July 1.
The world's most prestigious cycling race: 21 stages across three weeks in July, starting in Barcelona on July 4 and finishing on the Champs-Élysées in Paris on July 26. Each stage is one day's racing — some flat, some through the Alps and Pyrenees, some individual races against the clock (time trials).
About 180 riders from 23 teams start together. The overall winner is whoever finishes all 21 stages with the lowest total elapsed time.
Alongside the overall race, three other competitions run the whole three weeks. Each leader wears a different jersey.
Each stage starts with all riders together and ends at a finish line. Most of the pack rides as the peloton — 100+ riders drafting together, which is much faster than riding solo. Early in the day, a small group called the breakaway races off the front, hoping to build enough of a lead to hold on to the finish. More often the peloton catches them in the final kilometers and a sprinter wins.
On mountain stages, the GC leaders race each other over the climbs, and the overall standings shift based on time gaps. One bad day in the mountains can end a GC campaign.
Grand Départ — French for "the big start." The official opening stage of the Tour. This year it's in Barcelona on July 4. Once the Grand Départ happens, your picks lock.
TTT (Team Time Trial) — A stage where the whole team races the clock together. The team's time is usually taken on a designated finisher. You'll see "TTT" next to a stage name when one comes up.
Stage pool — Instead of picking one outright stage winner, you pick up to 5 riders as a pool. Every time any one of them wins a stage, you score 100 points. Your GC/Points/KOM/Young picks also score 100 pts per stage win (stacks with the pool).
Time tiebreaker — If you and another player end up with the same points total, whoever predicted the GC winner's total elapsed time more accurately wins the tie.
