Get the Pro Cycling Manager 2013 v1.0.2.0 Patch off WP (140mb)

In Pro Cycling Manager 2013, you will dive right into the heart of an exceptional pro season as you take the helm of one of the game's 80 teams.

Using your season planner, enter your team in over 180 competitions all over the world, including the prestigious classic cycle races, La Vuelta, or the spectacular 100th edition of the Tour de France

Manage all aspects of your pro team outside of the competitions (recruitment, management of the riders and their morale, contracts, equipment, finances, sponsorship aims, etc.) and demonstrate all of your strategic skills during the races in order to guide your team to victory. The stages and races have never been so realistic, with more detailed backgrounds, HD jerseys and legendary scenery (highly-detailed graphics of Alpe d’Huez, Mont St Michel, the Corsican coastline, the Champs Elysées, etc.). The IA is now even more competitive, and the opposition’s reactions are even more realistic.

Though thrilling when played alone, the game is even more exciting when you pit your skills against those of an opponent in the Armada multiplayer mode, with its non-stop race calendar. Create your dream team by collecting player cards and fight for a place in the various online rankings! You can also take part in track races in multiplayer mode, and organise Tours amongst your friends!
