Want to be a professional team manager?

I've been enjoying this "fantasy football for cycling" website for the past few days:

https://www.procyclinggame.com/index.php


Rules are here:

https://www.procyclinggame.com/info/rules


As you can see, it's very elaborate. You can build a team of up to 15 riders. Not just one-day races, but also stage races of various kinds. Prize money for KOMs, sprints, youth riders, team time trials, etc.


I've only been playing for three days. Apparently my strategy isn't very good. And I clearly don't know enough about pro-cycling. But I think it's fun and interesting! If you're going to join in, sooner would be better than later.


Even if I didn't care about the game aspect of "procyclinggame", the website will make following my favorite riders through all their different race schedules much more convenient.


I'm keen to hear your thoughts.

I often wonder if pro sports are about winning, or getting more viewers. I think the latter. As such, if I were a manager, winning would be second to being entertaining. "The rules" of that game are a bit constrictive to be fun for me.
