Rarity determines how frequently a rider appears in packs. Better riders are of course harder to pack. Rarity is based on real-life performances.

Economy & progression
CycloDraft has three main currencies that all feed into the same loop: collect better riders, perform better in races, earn better rewards.
- Earned from race rewards.
- Log in daily to claim a coin bonus — consecutive logins increase the streak bonus.
- Spend coins in the Store to buy packs.
- The primary source of new riders.
- Earned as race rewards or purchased with coins.
- Each pack guarantees a fixed number of riders per rarity tier.
- Generated from duplicate riders.
- Five types matching the five rider stats.
- Spend shards to craft any specific rider you want.
Collect every rider from a real-world cycling team and claim a special team completion reward. Visit the Teams page to track your progress across all squads.
Rider stats
Every rider card shows five speciality stats that reflect their real-world strengths. These stats influence which races a rider is suited for and also determine shard values when a duplicate is converted.
The OVR value shown on each card is a weighted summary of all five stats. The best stat contributes the most to OVR (80%), followed by the second-best (10%), with the remaining three stats sharing the rest.
Formula: OVR = 0.80 × S1 + 0.10 × S2 + 0.05 × S3 + 0.025 × S4 + 0.025 × S5
Packs
Packs are the primary way to build your collection. Each pack contains a set number of rider slots across different rarity tiers. Higher-cost packs guarantee more rare or epic slots, increasing your chances of landing a top rider.
- Each slot in a pack is filled with a randomly selected rider of the specified rarity.
- If the rider you receive is already in your collection, it becomes a duplicate and is automatically converted into shards.
- You can buy packs from the Store using coins.
Duplicates & shards
When you pull a rider you already own, the duplicate is automatically converted into shards. You choose which of the five shard types to receive — the amount depends on the rider's stat value for that type.
Crafting costs are based on the rider's two strongest stats. Rarity has no effect.
Races & team submission
CycloDraft supports one-day races, stage races, and general classification (GC) events based on the real-world cycling calendar. Before each race you can submit a team to compete.
- Pick exactly 5 riders from your collection.
- Each rider can only appear once per team.
- Submissions close when the race starts — make sure to submit before the deadline.
- You can update your team at any time before the deadline.
Scoring & rewards
After a race finishes, each of your submitted riders earns points based on their finishing position. The sum of all five riders determines which reward tier you hit. See the full scoring & rewards table for all positions and race classes.
