The Tour de France is approaching, but perhaps more importantly: the Sporza Tour Manager is back too! During the next two weeks you can again puzzle to your heart’s content and put together your ideal team for the Tour de France. Pogacar or Roglic? Jakobsen or Ewan? Van Aert or Van der Poel? The choice is yours.

Attention: the teams for the Tour are not yet known, you currently have a much wider choice.
The Sporza Tour Manager has become a household name among many cycling enthusiasts. But for those who don’t know it yet, we would like to give some explanation.
How to participate
- You put together a team of 16 riders with a budget of 100 million euros.
- For each stage you select 12 riders who can earn points. The other 4 remain on the bus.
- You collect points based on the results in the real Tour. The top 25 of each stage will receive points. The leaders in the four classifications (overall, points, mountain and youth) also earn points.
- Every day you also have to choose a leader. He can earn extra points if he finishes in the top 5 of the day’s results.
- You can make 4 transfers throughout the game. So you can exchange a rider who performs less or has given up for another. You pay a tax of 10% on such a transfer.
- Once you arrive in Paris you will also earn extra points based on the four final rankings.
- Try to collect as many points as possible. Who knows, in the end you might be the lucky winner of one of the great prizes. Or you can also just compete against your friends by creating your own mini-league.
- Curse, cheer, laugh, weep and enjoy!
A novelty
An important novelty has been added to the game for this edition of the Sporza Tour Manager.
This time also the most combative riders will be rewarded. Every day you get 10 points if one of your riders wins the Fighting Spirit prize. For the price of Super Fighting Spirit on the final podium, you can earn an additional 50 points.
