Jenny finds there’s more to professional glory on two wheels than high-calorie cake and ignoring red lights…

I know lots about bikes.

Bikes have two wheels.

Bikes get you to the shops.

Without brakes, bikes hurt.

The Tour de France is a tour of France.

Im therefore very well-placed to review the latest offering from Cyanide which has bikes.

Bikes, you understand, are very important in cycling.

In fact, apparently, without bikes there would be no cycling.

So thank goodness this has lots of bikes.

Joking aside, I play sport management games to death but knew practically nothing about this sport.

How hard could it be?

I very nearly didnt bother to play it.

you’re able to simulate races, but its more to your advantage to have total real-time control.

It didnt bother me when a few cyclists went into each others arms that was to be expected.

I will confess; I laughed quite hard.

Then the Tour of Australia refused to let me compete.

Then the game crashed.

Be warned that its not completely stable, oddly mirroring me on a bike.

The other, however, is my favourite thing in the whole game universe: a complete editor.
