Fantasy Cycling 2014 logoPlay Fantasy Giro d'Italia with road.cc and Wiggle!
Grand Tour season is upon is! The Giro d'Italia starts on Friday with a team time trial around the streets of one of Italy's best known cities, erm, Belfast. And the road.cc Fantasy Giro with Wiggle is now open for you to pick a team. There are great prizes to be won, with not one but two bikes up for grabs! And you could win just by picking a team!
First prize: A Verenti Insight 0.3 road bike worth £1,200!
If you're top dog come the end of the road in Trieste then you'll be walking away with a Verenti Insight 0.3 worth £1,200. It features a high modulus carbon frame, a carbon bladed fork, a Shimano 105 10-speed groupset and Fulcrum wheels. On top of that you get a free Lifeline advanced kit with bottle cages, water bottles, lights, a track pump and tools. Not bad!
Second prize: A Verenti Defense Sora road bike worth £600!
Even if you don't come first you could still be riding away in style. Second place gets a Verenti Defense road bike that looks a great option for year-round UK riding. It features a Shimano Sora groupset and a carbon bladed fork, and comes fitted with mudguards for all-weather comfort. On top of that you get the same Lifeline advanced kit that you get with the Insight.
Third prize: £250 of dhb kit
We're fans of dhb's kit over here at road.cc - it performs well and won't break the bank. Wiggle will put together a prize bundle of summer gear worth £250 for the third-placed player.
Stage prize: a set of dhb triple lens sunglasses worth £29.99
Every one of the 21 stage winners in the game will receive a pair of dhb's triple lens system glasses, good for riding in all the weathers you can think of.
Purist winner: £150 of dhb kit
More dhb goodies for the purist winner: that's the player who amasses the most points without transferring any riders for the duration of the tour. It's not easy...
Raffle: £100 of lifeline kit
As if all that wasn't enough you can net yourself a prize by doing nothing other than picking a team. We'll pick one lucky user from all the entered teams, and they'll win a bundle of Lifeline tools and accessories.
Get a team in today! The race starts on Friday.

Good to see a road.cc review of what must be one of the UK's best-selling 'proper' road bikes. 6/10 feels a little harsh though: the tyres could be...
It does. It's 'targeted' and 'retaliatory' that require quote marks.

Nice to see WvA featuring in the finale.

Yours worked wonders, but if you insist, I'll hop to it...why the need for extra police? Did the fire brigade bottle it?
