The Grand Tours at home
In the afternoon, the race on TV. After dinner, your own, on the living-room table. A family stage, without dice or cards.
Three courses to download
The rulebook offers three example courses, from the shortest to the longest, with the place of each tab and of the medals. They are here as a PDF, to keep next to the board.

Tonight, we ride the stage again
The line is crossed, the TV goes off. On the table, the box opens: six teams, 36 riders, and the day’s profile still in your head.
No dice, no cards. What you have just watched on screen, you now play: sit on the wheel, don’t hit the wind too early, save your bottle for the right moment.
The rules take a few minutes to explain. You don’t need to be an expert to line up at the start.
2 to 6 players

One trophy a week
Every stage hands out up to four medals. Whoever wins the most takes the Best Mind Cycling Manager trophy.
The weekly standings
A house rule, not an official one. Adapt it at home.

Every night, a stage.
Tabs placed like today’s stage, riders on the line, and off you go.
Medals on the fridge.
One sheet, one column per medal. After each stage, write down who took them.
On Sunday, the trophy.
Whoever has the most medals over the week lifts the trophy. They keep it until the next Sunday, then put it back up for grabs. If there is a tie, the best team medals decide.
A notebook will do: one column per medal, one line per evening.
The Best Mind Cycling Manager trophy
In the box, the token. On the mantelpiece, the real one.
The real trophy comes in the gift set: slipped into the box, with the signed game.
Father’s Day comes just before
In Belgium it is the second Sunday of June (19 March in the province of Antwerp). In the Netherlands, the third Sunday of June. July is close behind.
A present that lasts all summer. Ordered here, the game can come signed by the author, with a dedication to whoever you choose. The dedication is free.
To get it there in time, order at least ten days before.
On holiday, without the box?
Mind Cycling is also on Board Game Arena, free, with a tutorial.
Just enough for a stage between two swims.

Questions
How long is a game?
From 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the course, the number of players and the number of riders per team. The rulebook suggests several courses. Online, a game lasts 11 minutes on average.
From what age?
From 10. Simple to learn, long to master: the rules take a few minutes, the tactics come with the games.
Can you play with two? With six?
Yes: 2 to 6 players with the box, each with a team of three to six riders. Online, 1 to 6.
Is there a solo mode?
Online, yes, on Board Game Arena. For the box, the author has written solo rules, which you can download from the rules page. Read more
Are the rules in several languages?
Yes. The booklet comes in eight languages: French, English, Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian, Danish and Portuguese.
How is it different from other cycling games?
No dice and no cards to draw: nothing is left to chance, everything comes down to your choices. Six teams in the box, plus a seventh, white one, in your own colours. And it can also be played free online, on Board Game Arena.
Which countries do you deliver to?
The whole European Union, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. To a parcel point, delivery is free in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain and Portugal.
What if I don’t like it?
You have 14 days after delivery to send it back, with the online withdrawal form. A copy dedicated to a first name cannot be taken back. Read more
The game is also sold elsewhere
Here you get the author’s dedication and free delivery to a parcel point. Elsewhere you have your habits. Both are fine.
