BREAK AWAY

A free fantasy cycling game where bold picks beat safe ones and a bad start doesn't end your race.

When Pogačar starts, the winner feels decided. This game designs around that.

Limited spots. No spam.

After years of playing cycling games, I decided to build the one me and my friends were missing. Easier to use, packed with the right features, and 100% dedicated to cycling.
Played a cycling game before?
You know the pain.
  1. 01 Picking your team weeks before the race. Startlists aren't out yet. None of your riders end up riding.
  2. 02 Stage one. Your GC leader crashes. Without transfers, your chances of winning and the fun to keep playing are gone.
  3. 03 Playing it safe with the favorites is almost always more rewarding than picking a fun dark horse. And with every tip channel pointing to the same riders, half the teams end up looking identical.
How It Works
Don't overthink this part.
You'll do that later anyway.
01

Build your squad

Pick riders within a fixed budget. Big names cost more but deliver points. Dark horses cost less but reward bold predictions.

02

Set your lineup

Before each stage, choose 8 riders, one as your captain. Mountains? Sprints? Time trial? Just make sure your lineup is in before the start.

03

Pick your captain

Your captain scores 50% more points. Pick the obvious choice and hope nothing strange happens. Or trust a feeling and spend the whole stage watching nervously.

04

Adapt when things go wrong

Because they will. Transfers give you room to recover from bad luck and missed starts.

05

Compare and compete

See how your team stacks up against others. Compare picks, track your performance, and adjust your strategy as the race unfolds.

Why Breakaway?
Built for how cycling actually works

Breakaway doesn't fight cycling's era of dominance. It designs around it.

Unique picks are rewarded

Picking the obvious favorite is easy. Everyone does it.

Breakaway tries to reward insight. Scored points are influenced by ownership impact. A big performance from a rare pick is worth more than the same result from a rider everyone owns. This shifts the focus away from copying tips from tip channels. If you understand the race better than others, you'll see it in your score.

Built for real-life chaos

Cycling rarely goes to plan. Neither should your fantasy game.

DNS

Last-minute DNS?

Bench riders automatically step in if a selected rider doesn't start. Step outside without worrying.

DNF

Crashes, abandons, ruined GC hopes?

Your GC favorite crashes on stage three. Now you're stuck watching your race fade away. Or you make a transfer and stay in the fight.

AUTO

Forgot to pick a captain?

Life happens. If you miss the deadline, Breakaway auto-picks your highest-rated rider for that parcours type as captain. You might lose the edge, but you won't lose the stage.

Big moments deserve big calls

One-time boosts like Bench Boost let you fully commit to a stage, a rider, or a hunch. Use them wisely. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Compete in mini-leagues Coming later

Play against your friends. See who picked which riders. Compare your team with anyone in your league. Breakaway makes every choice visible, so you always know where you stand and what your rivals are up to. Private leagues coming soon.
