This game has huge potential. For serious cycling fans it's a must. The game play really captures the highly strategic nature of world tour cycling (individual roles within a team, managing energy use etc) . I thought it would be boring, but the ability to fast forward through the processional/ attritional parts of a race and then jump into the action for attacks, climbs, sprints etc works suprisingly well. Casual players will end up with a much deeper appreciation of the sport. I hope the developers keep at it. Three developments would help the game massively : 1) Face mapping or at least an array of different faces for the riders. At the moment there is one generic rider's face. Which is weird, especially on the podium cut scenes; 2) More races. I love the fact that it has Paris Roubaix and Flanders, plus Paris - Nice, the Dauphine etc (as well as Le Tour). But a few more classics (Milan San Remo. Leige - Baston - Leige, Tour of Lombardy etc) and even the Giro d'Itlaia and Vuelta e Espana would be really help to emerse a player in the cycling season. This could be partly addressed by game players if the race editor / creator also had more options and depth ; 3) Replays - at the moment it's only the final few kms. But players really would like to see a highlight real or be able to go back and see crashes and attacks from throughout the day. Anyway, please keep working on this game. Myself and my kids love it (all big cycling fans).
