Guess The Rider

Guess The Rider is a free web quiz about professional road cycling, made by Gauzoo and first released in 2025. It is still updated: version 1.5 in October 2026 made the daily rider the game's front page, dropped the old points for a count of tries and a day streak, and version 1.6 added a Career Path daily. It is played in English in the browser, on a desktop or a phone.

Each day there is one rider for the top 100 men of the UCI road rankings, one for the top 300 men and one for the top 100 women, the same for everyone, with the date shown above the board. You start with the rider's five best results, with places and years. You type a name, pick the rider from the suggestion list and press Guess. A row appears with the guessed rider's photo, name, team, two rider types (such as classics rider or puncher), ranking, continent, country, age, weight and height. Green means a match. Yellow means close: a neighbouring country, a ranking within five places, an age within two years, a weight or height within three kilos or centimetres. Arrows tell you whether the day's rider ranks higher or lower, is older or younger, heavier or lighter, taller or shorter.

There is no limit on guesses: your score is the number of tries. More clues open as you go, the team history after three tries, a photo after ten and the initials after fifteen. A finished daily shows your day streak and a countdown to the next rider.

Career Path is a second kind of daily. You see the first team of a top 100 rider's career with its year, and each wrong guess reveals the next team; you have six tries.

The dailies play without an account. Logging in puts your day streak on the leaderboard and opens the archive of past days. Free play, under More Games, gives a random rider from the same pools or a top 100 of legends whenever you like. The pools hold about a hundred riders each, so a rider you met comes back after a month or so. It suits fans who know the peloton well enough to place a rider by size, age and team.
