If you're a fan of all things with wheels, then chances are you have a passion for bikes as well.
And we're not talking about the ones with engines this time.
Instead, we're talking about video games that focus on road-cycling. Let's take a closer look at Tour de France 2021 and Pro Cycling Manager 2021!
Tour de France 2021
The official Tour de France game is back this year, and once again it stays true to the real-world, internationally regarded event. Not only that, it's now coming to PS4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC!
The new game starts with the route that originates in Brittany, it sticks you in the middle of the Peloton as a rider for one of the best teams out there.
You have to adapt your strategy to get the best results possible. Do you leave the Peloton early and go for the green jersey, or do you excel in mountain stages?
