With only days remaining before the 108th edition of the Giro d’Italia begins, the excitement around FantaGiro d’Italia 2025 is reaching new heights. The official fantasy game of the Giro is proving once again to be the most thrilling and engaging way to experience the Corsa Rosa. It’s not just about following the peloton, it’s about diving into the quirks, the drama, and the fun of the race, three weeks packed with strategy and surprises.
Thousands of fans have rushed to register in recent days as the official start list firms up, pushing the number of created teams well past 20,000. The game is free to join at www.fantagiroditalia.it, where each user can build up to 5 teams, each made up of 8 riders. One of those must be named captain, a crucial choice since their stage points will be doubled. But managers need to build wisely, the budget cap is 100 Wolfies, the official in-game currency named after the Giro’s mascot.
Once your team is ready, you can compete in the overall FantaGiro Trophy or join one of the Premium Leagues promoted by official partners, or even challenge your friends in custom user-created leagues.
Rankings will reflect each rider’s real-life sports performance across general classification, stage results, points and mountain standings, and more. But that’s not all. Unique to FantaGiro, the game also assigns “bonuses” and “maluses” according to the riders’ behavior and presence off the bike – from the hospitality area to the signature podium to the awards ceremonies. Daily bonuses will highlight local quirks and cultural features tied to each stage’s location, revealed day by day. Full rules, including the complete bonus and penalty system and rider price lists, are all available on the website www.fantagiroditalia.it.
Once again this year, fantastic prizes are up for grabs for all fantasy managers who register for the 2025 FantaGiro d’Italia. Every user who signs up for the game and creates at least one team within the deadline set by the rules – by 31 May – will automatically be entered into the official contest linked to the game. The draw, scheduled to take place by 16 June 2025, will offer the chance to win an array of incredible prizes.

Primož Roglič leads the way, chosen as team leader in 27% of entries. Close behind is Juan Ayuso, picked in 14.2% of squads, with Wout Van Aert not far behind at 11%, thanks to his dual goals of chasing stage victories and the Maglia Ciclamino.
