VELOGAMES FANTASY CLASSICS - SCORING POINTS
Points are allocated to riders based on their real-life performance in each event.
Points are awarded in three categories: Finishing Positions, Assists and Breakaways.
Finishing Positions
Points for Finishing Positions make up the major amount of points available, and are awarded to the top 20 classified finishers in the race using the following scoring table.
|
Assists
Points for Assists are awarded to the real-life team-mates of riders who finish in the top three, to recognise the efforts that go into putting a team's rider into a winning position.
In order to score assist points, a rider must start the race - they do not have to complete the course.
Assist points are awarded as follows:

Breakaway Points
Points for Breakaways are awarded to the riders who animate the race in its early stages and also during the crunch moments leading up the the finale.
There are four nominated Breakaway Points Zones during each event, where the riders in the leading group on the road all score six points each:
|
The first Breakaway Points Zone is generally based around half-distance, while the remaining Breakaway Points Zone are located in the famous areas where the race is usually decided.
Breakaway Points Zones will be published in good time before the deadline for each event, based on the final race routes that are published.
For the purposes of points scoring, a "leading group" of riders is a group of 20 riders or less, with a gap of more than five seconds to the next rider or group of riders on the road.
Velogames will review video footage and race reports to ensure an accurate distribution of Breakaway Points, but in all cases the decison of Velogames is final.
