The 2020 Tour de France fantasy cycling game has arrived! Cycling fans in the United States and Canada will be able to participate only on FloBikes by going to to flobikes.fantasybytissot.com or flobikes.com/fantasy. Both English and French language options are available.

Join Pro to watch the 2020 Tour de France live and on-demand in Canada.

There are restrictions on your team selection in the standard game format, including how much you can spend and how many riders from one team can be on your roster, but what if you removed all of that to build fantasy squads for each team at the Tour de France in 2020?

The point system is an important factor (full breakdown here) to keep in mind. There are a maximum of 200 points available for the stage finishing places every day, compared to 50 points for the general classification and 30 points for the sprint and mountain classifications.

We have ranked the top ten teams based on how they would perform in the fantasy game. Vote in the poll below to pick which you think is the best overall.

10. Team Ineos

This is a squad built to win grand tours, not fulfill your fantasy dreams. We only saw Egan Bernal's emergence at the top of the Tour de France in the closing days of the race in 2019, which will not contribute enough points to setup your fantasy squad for victory. Don't expect to see this roster contesting sprints or the polka dot jersey. 

While Bernal appears to be the overall leader of this squad, we've seen the aggressive riding style of Richard Carapaz on full display during the 2019 Giro d'Italia. If he's given some freedom on his new team, he could be a dark horse pick to pull in some serious points on the more challenging stages through the first rest day.

9. EF Education First

Similar to Ineos, EF Education First has put together a squad with clear yellow jersey aspirations. Alberto Bettiol however has potential to give them more options to add fantasy points outside of the mountain top finishes. 

Daniel Martinez showed great form with his recent overall victory at the Criterium du Dauphine. More importantly (for fantasy owners) he registered three top seven finishes over the challenging five-day race. For the American fans, we certainly wouldn't mind seeing Tejay van Garderen add to his grand tour stage win total.

8. CCC Team

Here's a team fantasy owners can appreciate. A squad journeying to the 2020 Tour de France hunting for stage wins. Thankfully, Matteo Trentin's Milano-Sanremo crash resulted in no lasting injuries and he already returned to racing at the Tour de Wallonie and the Italian National Championships. He's a three-time stage winner at the Tour de France and will be a top contender for the green jersey. 

Greg van Avermaet has not won a stage at the Tour since 2016, but has shown strong legs through identical eighth place finishes at Strade Bianche and Milano-Sanremo. He and the rest of the CCC all-rounders should be making consistent appearances in breaks. 

Ilnur Zakarin is a proven performer at grand tours, but with his very light race schedule in 2020, it remains to be seen how he will stack up against the other climbers who have been consistently competing since pro racing returned.

7. Bahrain-Merida

For a rider who has been vocal about not receiving the attention he deserves during his time at Movistar, it feels like another slight to see that he isn't even labeled as a team leader in the fantasy game this year. Maybe further motivation for Mikel Landa to make an impact on this year's race. Sonny Colbrelli could very well  be the top fantasy performer for Bahrain-Merida. He picked up seven top ten finishes at the Tour de France in 2019, was fourth overall in the sprint classification and a mere 15 points separated him from Elia Viviani in third place and 39 points to Caleb Ewan in second. 

This is only Matej Mohoric's second appearance at the Tour de France, but the Slovenian should be a sleeper pick to score solid fantasy points as he attempts to secure a win which would make him a stage winner in all three grand tours.

6. Mitchelton-Scott

As you go through the rosters, you'll notice that some tend to be skewed towards a very specific area of the fantasy scoring. Ineos and EF are going to be all over the GC point tables while Bora and Lotto stand to dominate the sprints. Mitchelton-Scott provides a refreshing, well-balanced, group of riders who will stack points across all levels of the fantasy game. 

Adam Yates will be chasing the general classification standings as the designated team leader, but the addition of Esteban Chaves and Mikel Nieve could make this team one of the most prolific in the fantasy climbing scoring. 

In addition to the team's climbing talent, Mitchelton-Scott also arrives with Daryl Impey who picked up his first grand tour stage win at the 2019 Tour de France. The Impey and Luca Mezgec combination gives this Swiss Army knife roster multiple options for scoring fantasy points in bunch sprints and breakaway finishes.

5. Lotto Soudal

Going to sneak a dark horse pick into the top five? With no serious GC contender, Lotto Soudal would not be a popular pick as an elite fantasy roster. They key component to remember about the fantasy scoring system is that stage finishes are weighted more heavily than the overall classifications, and that's what I'm banking on with this lineup.

This team brings 34 grand tour stage wins to the start line. You could argue that certain members of this group are past their prime, but if John Degenkolb can find any semblance of his 2018 form, having two green jersey contenders will bring serious fantasy points. Even without the GC fantasy points, you will have the 1-2 punch of Caleb Ewan and John Degenkolb in the sprints, then Philippe Gilbert and Thomas de Gendt doing Philippe Gilbert and Thomas de Gendt things. Don't sleep on Lotto Soudal.

4. Bora-Hansgrohe

If you hear the words "Tour de France" and "points" in the same sentence, the first name that comes to mind will be Peter Sagan. The absolute master of the green jersey competition is going to be a force in the fantasy scoring. If anything, his 19 star valuation feels like a steal relative to other sprinters and team leaders which cost 20+. 

Emanuel Buchmann had a breakout fourth place finish in the GC during the 2019 and was in fantastic form at the Dauphine a few weeks ago, but his contributions will depend on how quickly he will heal from the injuries he sustained in the race. He could once again be a major fantasy scorer if he can make it through the first part of the event and improve through the final weeks of the race, though fantasy owners beware. In his own words "We’ll just have to wait and see how far I can make it up there.". 

As long as people stop hitting Max Schachmann with cars, we know that he can ignite a race and could be in a position to be a surprise perform in the 2020 fantasy league.

3. UAE Team Emirates

This group of UAE Team Emirates riders will be fantasy superstars at the 2020 Tour de France. 21-year-old Tadej Pogacar is making his first start at the race and all indicators point towards him being a fantasy point juggernaut. He posted twelve top 15 stage finishes at the 2019 Vuelta a Espana in his first ever grant tour, three stage wins, third overall in the GC, fourth in the mountains classification, second in sprint classification and winning the youth classification....hang on, I need to go change my fantasy roster...you couldn't design a rider more perfectly suited to score a million fantasy points if you tried. 

On top of that, you have a sprint point powerhouse in Alexander Kristoff, a high-flying Davide Formolo and depending on how much they will be asked to ride in support of Pogacar, David de la Cruz and Fabio Aru could be off hunting for their own stage wins.

2. Team Jumbo-Visma

I doubt I'll hear any complaints on this selection. Assuming Primoz Roglic has no lasting injuries after abandoning the Dauphine, he enters the race as one of the favorites. From a fantasy standpoint, we've seen that he's not a rider who's content to ease across the line at the back of the GC group. He chases stage wins and top stage finishes, which makes him arguably the most valuable rider to have on your fantasy roster, and at 22 stars, the most expensive to add to your team. 

Tom Dumoulin, by all reports, will be riding in support of Roglic, but you should still expect to see him earning solid fantasy points on the more challenging days. If Roglic's injuries do prove to be more serious, Dumoulin will slide into his accustomed role as team leader, which will further strengthen his value for fantasy owners. 

We then of course have Wout van Aert. We saw him spending a considerable amount of time controlling the front of the peloton during the Dauphine, but expect him to be unleashed on the flat days at the Tour de France. Van Aert has consistently proven that he can go toe-to-toe with the world's best sprinters in pack finishes. Before crashing out of the stage 13 ITT in the 2019 Tour, van Aert finished second on stage five and out-shone all of the peloton's fastest sprinters to win stage ten. 

While he may not be as consistently stacking up fantasy points as the sprinters focused on the green jersey because of his split team duties, Wout van Aert is an expensive add to your fantasy roster for good reason, and will still be one of the top overall scorers.

1. Deceunick Quick-Step

Did Patrick Levefre specifically pick a Tour de France roster to win the fantasy league? Probably not...but they love adding to their coveted win total, so I wouldn't put it past them. Sam Bennett and Julian Alaphilippe will be two of the highest fantasy point scorers throughout the race this year. Deceunick Quick-Step will have opportunities for stage wins and top ten finishes every single day. The supporting riders are the typical cast of strong "all-rounders". On the days when they are not lining out the peloton to set up Bennett, expect them to be making opportunistic appearances in the break contending for stage wins of their own.
