• Choose your favorite team, assemble a group of riders with different styles, and manage them to victory along the Champs-Élysées.

• Employ real cycling tactics like drafting, relaying, and sprinting to break down your opponents, realistic AI cyclists using aggressive and defensive moves.

• Race like a true champion through the real 21 stages of the Tour de France, with true-to-life locations, names, and stage features – from the grueling climbs of Mont Ventoux and Col du Galibier to the flat laps of the Champs-Élysées.
