You take on the role of the manager of a cycling team and you have to push them to the top. You can opt to play a single stage, a tour or a classic stage. As manager, you can influence the strategy of the team and individual players, shop for equipment, train your riders, and manage contracts. In the career mode you need to put the right riders in the team at the right tours. Each stage is presented in full real time 3D and you can make adjustments to your racers strategies on the fly.
