Sorare Doesn’t Do Road Cycling. Peaxel Does.

Let’s get straight to it. If you’re a Sorare player looking to build fantasy lineups around road cycling, you’re out of luck. Sorare’s expansion beyond football has touched baseball and basketball, but cycling? Not on the roadmap. That’s where Peaxel fills a gap that cycling fans have been waiting for.

Peaxel is a free-to-play fantasy sports platform covering disciplines Sorare won’t touch—including road cycling. You collect athlete cards, build lineups, and compete based on real-world performance. The difference is the roster. Peaxel features emerging and professional cyclists you can actually follow and manage.

What Peaxel Offers That Sorare Can’t

The comparison isn’t about which platform is “better” overall. It’s about what each one covers. Here’s the breakdown for cycling fans:

Sport Coverage

Sorare: Football (primary), MLB, NBA. No cycling.
Peaxel: Road cycling, cyclocross, mountain biking, BMX, plus 50+ other disciplines. Check the full list of sports on Peaxel.

Athlete Roster

Sorare: Top-tier licensed football players.
Peaxel: Emerging talent across all sports—including junior and continental-level cyclists who are tomorrow’s WorldTour stars.

Entry Cost

Sorare: NFT-based cards, some costing hundreds or thousands of euros.
Peaxel: Free-to-play. You can build competitive lineups without spending anything.

Fantasy Focus

Sorare: Traditional fantasy scoring tied to match stats.
Peaxel: Performance-based scoring across real competitions—races, stages, championships.

Two Cyclists You Can Only Find on Peaxel

Here’s the proof. These two riders are exactly the kind of talent Peaxel covers—and Sorare doesn’t.

Oda Aune Gissinger (Norway)

Oda Aune Gissinger is 19 years old and already racing at continental level with Hitec Products – Fluid Control. In 2025, she won the Grand Prix CERATIZIT Women Junior, took bronze at the UCI Road World Championships in the junior time trial, and claimed the overall at the Tour de l’Abitibi Féminin—overturning a 51-second deficit in the final stage without a working power meter.

In 2026, she’s made her WorldTour debut and earned the mountain jersey at the Vuelta a Burgos Féminas after a 110km breakaway. That’s the kind of form that translates directly into fantasy points. You can add her card to your lineup here.

Lidia Castro de la Serna (Spain)

Lidia Castro de la Serna is just 17, but UAE Team Emirates is already tracking her. She finished third overall at the Tour de Valromey—the most prestigious junior stage race in the world—and was invited to a Jayco AlUla WorldTour training camp in December 2025. That’s rare for a junior.

She won the Vuelta a Cantabria with a clean sweep of stages in 2024 and represented Spain at the Junior World Championships. Multiple WorldTour teams are watching. On Peaxel, you can manage her card now before the hype catches up.

Why This Matters for Fantasy Cycling

The cycling calendar in July 2026 is stacked. European junior races, continental women’s tours, and national championships are all underway. If you’re building a fantasy cycling lineup this week, you need athletes who are actually competing.

Gissinger is active on the continental circuit. Castro de la Serna is racing junior events and building toward a potential pro contract. Both are in-form, both have upcoming races, and both are available on Peaxel.

Sorare players don’t have this option. If you want road cycling in your fantasy portfolio, Peaxel is the only platform offering it at this level of depth.

How Peaxel Scoring Works for Cycling

Peaxel uses real competition results to generate fantasy scores. For road cycling, this means stage placements, overall classifications, and breakaway performance all factor in. You’re not betting on anything—you’re managing athletes based on actual race outcomes.

When Gissinger spent 110km in a breakaway and took the mountain jersey, that performance translated into points. When Castro de la Serna finished on the podium at Valromey, same thing. The scoring rewards riders who race aggressively and finish well.

The Bottom Line

If you’re happy with football fantasy, Sorare works fine. But if you care about cycling—if you follow junior racing, continental tours, or emerging women’s talent—Peaxel is the only platform where you can actually play.

Honestly, the coverage gap is surprising. Cycling has a massive global fanbase, and Peaxel is the only fantasy game letting you manage the next generation of riders. Gissinger and Castro de la Serna are just two examples. The full Peaxel roster goes much deeper.

If you’ve been waiting for a cycling fantasy game that takes emerging talent seriously, this is it.
