Play the race. Fund the ride that matters.

Domestique is a fantasy cycling contest built around the 2026 Tour de France (July 4–26). For $20, you draft a 6-rider team from the professional peloton, score points across 21 stages, and compete on a live leaderboard — while contributing to World Bicycle Relief with every entry.

How the $20 breaks down: $5 covers contest costs. $5 goes directly to World Bicycle Relief. $10 goes into the prize pool. And if you win — you can donate your prize back to WBR. That's the domestique move.

How to enter: Pay your entry fee here on Givebutter. You'll receive a Join Code by email that gets you into the contest at domestique.contestsforacause.org. Draft your team before Stage 1 on July 4th and you're in.

The cause: World Bicycle Relief is a global nonprofit that puts bicycles in the hands of students, healthcare workers, and entrepreneurs in developing countries. One bicycle — a WBR Buffalo Bicycle, built tough for rough terrain — costs roughly $150 per bike. It can mean the difference between a student reaching school or dropping out, a nurse reaching a patient or not, a farmer reaching a market or staying home.

Your $5 goes toward that bicycle. And if the winner gives back their prize, it goes a lot further.

Why cycling? The Tour de France is the greatest race on earth. For three weeks in July, 176 riders from 22 teams cover more than 3,300 kilometers across France. While we follow every stage from the comfort of our phones, the riders in the WBR peloton are making journeys that matter even more — to school, to clinics, to opportunity.

That's what this contest is for.

$20 to enter. $5 per entry to World Bicycle Relief. Draft deadline: July 3rd, 12 Noon CDT USA (17:00 UTC)
