I'm being a bit unfairly vague and dismissive because I'm more into the other bike strat-o-sim I've been playing. This seems what I'd expect from a cycling management game. Then you can watch races in a 3D real-time view, issuing orders for riders: telling them when to draft, when to attack, when to share effort pulling with other teams, when to drop back for water deliveries, and so on. Manage finances, rosters, health, sponsors, training, tactics, equipment, and such. It's a Football Manager sort of dealio, a game where you pick a team and play through a season. It's got fancy 3D graphics, the official teams and cyclists, and races including a recreation of the Tour De France.

Pro Cycling Manager 2022's version of yesterday's Alpine TDF stageĬyanide Studio's Pro Cycling Manager is the big name in the genre, started in 2001 and following up with sequels every year since. Sounds to me like a fitting theme for management and strategy games. It can be beautiful to watch teams deliver their sprinters to the finish line seemingly out of nowhere, the colours of team jerseys congealing into a mass then flaking off as riders burn themselves out one-by-one until only sprinters remain in the desperate final few hundred metres. Each rider is a resource to be strategically deployed for the good of the team, their energy consumed intentionally and carefully across individual stages, the weeks-long tour, and the wider competitive cycling season. Air resistance is killer in this endurance sport, so support riders take the lead and cut through the wind, letting stars draft behind them and save energy for key moments. Their teammates run support: trying to control the pace of the race helping or hindering breakaways mounting attacks fetching and delivering water bottles and straight-up doing the hard work. Most cyclists in the Tour De France are not riding for personal victory, with only a few on each team seriously competing in the various sub-competitions.
