Fantasy cycling, it’s a thing. Actually, it’s a pretty cool thing.

If you're a bike racing fan—or a bike racer yourself—there’s a good chance you’ve participated in a fantasy cycling league, or at least overheard some ultra-nerdy fantasy cycling talk.

If you’ve played, you’ve likely come to appreciate the concept.

You’ve seen your amateur cycling team’s group message thread blow up in the waning stages of a grand tour draw as two fantasy players vie for the win in their mini-league.

Or you’ve cursed your luck as your team’s star riders suffer mishaps in the opening week and fall completely out of contention.

Similar to in-real-life bike racing, this is the beauty and the agony of fantasy cycling.

For the 2018 Giro d’Italia, FloBikes has created its own fantasy cycling mini-league.

Here’s how to join:

Go to VeloGames.com to create a team. Use your 100 allotted points to pick Giro d’Italia racers of varying value. Then select the FloBikes mini-league (using the code: 81430138), and follow along over the course of three-plus weeks, as your racers’ fortunes rise and fall.

You won’t find a bottom of the screen ticker updating rider stats on the FloBikes feed (yet), but we will keep track of the league leaders throughout the Giro d’Italia. Make your FloBikes fantasy team today. And join PRO to watch the 2018 Giro d'Italia daily, live and on replay.
