Azul everyone, May has rolled around and you all know what that means - it's TCAT time! Welcome to season 5 of the Talossan Cycling Association Tour, starting as usual with the first of three legs playing out in Italy (except for some reason the first three stages are happening abroad, this time in Bulgaria.)
All Talossans are heartily invited to sign their teams up! Team registrations are now open, and instructions follow below.
Deadline
The deadline for entries to be submitted is 12:45 CEST (Cézembre Summer Time) / 05:45 (AM) TDT (Talossan Daylight Time) on Friday 8th May, 2026.
How to register
Step 1: Create a Velogames account
If you already have a Velogames account you can proceed with step 2.
You can create a Velogames account by going to velogames.com -> log in -> click here to register
Step 2: Register your team
While logged in to Velogames, go to the following page: https://www.velogames.com/italy/2026/entryform.php
Here you can submit your team. After submitting your team you can still make changes to your team up until the deadline! On your team page, which you can find by clicking visit team, you can also change your team name and jersey.
Step 3: Join the Talossan Cycling Association Tour
After you set up your team you can go to your team page (visit team) and under team management there should be a button called join league. There you can join the Talossan Cycling Association Tour by entering the following league code: 639289433
(You can access league scores and/or view who's signed up here: https://www.velogames.com/italy/2026/leaguescores.php?league=639289433)
Team information
Each team needs to consist of 9 riders, with a combined total cost of up to 100 credits. These need to include 2 all rounders, 2 climbers, 1 sprinter, 3 unclassified riders, and 1 wildcard (which can be any category).
Generally, the credits assigned to the riders are pretty close to the consensus expection of how these riders will perform. This means it is possible to do well without much research, though of course if you do want to research your team there are many resources online, such as ProCyclingStats, various preview sites, bookmakers, and the youtube channel Ow Do Cycling. It is possible to use less than 100 credits, but this is usually not advisable.
A full list of participating riders, categories and credits can be found here. These should be mostly definitive, but should any of your picks drop out before the deadline without you noticing, Velogames will autoreplace them.
Scoring & Rules
The rules for the competition can be found here. Note that we are only focused on the classic competition: 1 team that stays the same throughout the race.
The scoring system can be found here. Points are assigned daily for stage results, intermediate sprints, categorised summits, participating in breakaways, daily classification standings, and team assist points; and furthermore, a sizable chunk of points will be assigned based on the final classifications.
