The new, improved Fantasy Cyclingnews games for 2007 mark the fifth year of cycling fun here at Cyclingnews. The prize roster for the Tour 2007 game looks even more impressive than last year. This year we are kicking off the prize roster with a grand prize of a Cervelo Soloist Carbon Team CSC replica bicycle worth $4750 USD!
We've added other improvements to the game this year too. A whole new ranking and results service has been installed to offer new depths of rider statistics on races over the last four years. You can now search for your friends' teams and see their exact selections in this year's game as it happens. Why not have a look at the winning managers' team selections for last year to give your self a better idea of who to select in this year's Tour.
Follow the progress of the key fantasy managers whilst also tracking your friends' progress in the new 'Watch Teams' tool and building your own Mini-Leagues. The Forum/Chat area also provides new ways to communicate with your fellow players from around the world in real time as the races unfold.
Even if you don't win the grand prize, the Fantasy Le Tour game is a great way to follow the Tour each day here at Cyclingnews. It's free to play the first three stages - try it out today. You don't need to be a cycling expert to win prizes. Registration has already begun.
