How to play

You have until Saturday July 2 at 10.00am (BST) to pick and save your team selections. You must have nine riders, a bonus team and a bonus stage selected and saved or you will not score points.

Or if you’d prefer, you can also opt to have your team chosen by lucky dip.

Riders score points for finishing in the top 20 positions on a stage, helping a team-mate to win or taking/retaining the lead in the overall, mountains and points classifications.

Stages are ranked either category one or two, with the former worth 50 per cent more points. You can find our stage classifications here (under ‘Stages’).

On your selected bonus stage, all points your team score for that stage will be doubled – but once the game starts you can’t change your bonus stage, so pick wisely.

For each block of seven stages you can make up to eight transfers, with all transfers having to be submitted by 10am on the day of the stage you want them to count for.

Want to earn bragging rights among your work colleagues, fellow riders and club mates? You can also start your own mini league.

Think you can do better than the RCUK team? Join our mini-league and prove it – we’ve got an additional prize up for grabs.
