Draft your Rider Collection.

What is CycloDraft?

CycloDraft is a fantasy cycling game built like a trading card game. You collect rider cards by opening packs, pick a team from the riders you own, and enter them into real professional races. When the real race finishes, your riders score fantasy points based on where they actually placed.

There is no auction, no salary cap and no draft night to attend. Your squad is the collection you build, and every race is a fresh decision about which riders to send.

Collect rider cards from packs

Packs are the main way to get riders. Each one has a fixed number of Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary slots, and every rider card is rated for sprinting, hills, climbing, time trialling and cobbles. A card that is useless on a mountain stage can be exactly right on a flat one, so a deep collection matters more than a handful of stars. New players start with 25,000 coins and a stack of packs to open.

Submit a team into real races

A team is five riders: you choose four, and the golden spot is filled automatically once results come in. Races follow the real professional calendar — one-day classics, individual Grand Tour stages, and general classification entries for the overall win. Each race locks at its actual start time, so your team has to be in before the flag drops.

Score points and claim rewards

Points come straight from real finishing positions. Clear the reward threshold for that race and you claim coins and packs, which go back into the collection. Read the full scoring system for the points table and the thresholds per race class.

Craft the riders you are missing

Pulling a rider you already own is never wasted. Duplicates convert into shards of a stat you choose, and enough shards let you craft a specific rider outright instead of hoping for the pull. Surplus shards convert into another type at a fixed rate, so a pile of sprint shards can become the climbing shards you actually need.
