A XIXth Century game from Geert Lagrou's collection. It does not represent a professional cycling race, but of course  this game is older than most cycling races. Cycling sport was very different back then. This said, the game tried to be different from its contemporaries, as is indicated by the "new" in the title or, by the fact that the rules state that "this game is different from others, principally in respect that it has quite a number of routes to the central point, and that each player's route is different from that of any oponent"
