Domestique Predict is back for La Vuelta

After popular demand, Domestique Predict returns for La Vuelta with a few extra features while giving you a shot at winning a Santini Vuelta a España red leaders jersey!

Free to read. No paywall. Support our work and never miss a story:
Vuelta Predict

Here's how it works. 

  • For every stage, you pick one rider you think will finish highest. 
  • Your score for that stage is the rider's time behind the stage winner, minus any bonus seconds they pick up for a top-three finish. 
  • Stack those scores across all 21 stages, and you get your own general classification, exactly like the real race. Lowest total time wins.
  • There's a catch: you can only use each rider once during the whole Vuelta. So no hiding behind Tadej Pogačar for three weeks. 

Pick badly, or back someone who doesn't finish, and you're not off the hook either. A missed pick or a DNF costs you the last finisher's time gap, plus a penalty.

There is also more than pride at stake. The player leading the general classification in Granada will win a Santini Vuelta a España red leaders jersey.

Make your pick, follow your progress and see how you compare with the rest of the field.

Sign in and submit your stage one prediction before the race begins!

New for La Vuelta in Domestique Predict is the introduction of "My Pack", allowing players to play just against their friends and follow what they do across the Peloton. To add a friend to your pack, simply tap the star next to their username.
