Digital Jesters have snapped up the rights to publish the
latest installment of the million selling Cycling Manager series in the UK.
The Cycling Manager series has been leader of the pack for the last four years
and this latest installment is already leaving the peloton trailing behind with
a multitude of new features and a brand new title, Pro Cycling Manager.
In the best traditions of the very finest sports management games, Pro Cycling
Manager puts you in charge of absolutely every element of the sport; from
piecing together the lightest two wheeled machines imaginable to dictating race
strategy out on the road.
With 40 playable teams and over 1000 riders to choose from, the in depth
management options are as deep as an alpine ravine. Then, once you’ve developed
a strategic masterplan and trained your squad to the very limits of human
endurance a stunning 3D race engine brings the entire cycling season to life in
eye catching beauty. From snowy mountain passes to the cobbled magnificence of
the Champs Elysees, Pro Cycling Manager is a management game that looks as good
as it plays.
And just as only the very best can, it will eat up weeks of your life. This
