Pro Cycling Manager 2008 demo available

"I think we've gone a bit off course, chaps!"
Cyanide and Focus Home Interactive have announced the release of a playable demo for their new game, Pro Cycling Manager 2008.

The demo, weighing in at a nowadays reasonably sized 760 megabytes, integrates the latest 1.0.1.4 patch into it, putting players at the head of the Euskaltel team.

The demo features one stage from the real Tour de France 2008, namely Cuneo - Jausiers.

As the stage starts, your team is beginning the last week of the competition before the grand final on the Champs-Elysees. No stages have been won yet and the sponsors are getting angry.

They want their name seen on the podium and they won't stop at putting sandpaper in the jockstraps of the other competitors to achieve their goal.

You take the moral high ground and refuse to cheat, aiming to win the stage fair and square. Using your talents as a director of sports to the full is the only way you can inspire your bikers to victory.

Surrounded by the col de la Lombarde and the col la Bonette, the highest saddle point in Europe, this 16th stage will be the perfect field for the best climbers of the Tour, while the breathtaking downhills at the end of the cols ensure a spectacular end-of-stage.

It is up to you to find the best strategy that perfectly combines the skills of your mountain specialists and prevents breakaways that could ruin your chances of victory.

This Pro Cycling Manager 2008 demo will also offer players, for the first time ever, the opportunity to participate in track cycling events with a Keirin race.

The demo also offers a tutorial mode that will help people with no idea what they are doing get to grips with the game.

To get the demo, Gamershell has it here. It can also be found at Worthplaying, MetaBoli and from Focus themselves.
