Our take on Pro Cycling Manager 2021
Instead of centering on a single race, the game treats professional cycling as a year-long management problem. Team finances, recruitment, rider development, fatigue, weather, and changing objectives replace the usual race-only structure, while Pro Cyclist mode adds a personal career path within the broader sporting calendar.
What is Pro Cycling Manager 2021?
Manage one of 80 cycling teams across more than 260 races and 700 stages.
Career mode assigns responsibility for recruitment, sponsorships, finances, equipment research, staff, scouting, and rider training. A team can be created from scratch or managed from an existing roster. Pro Cyclist mode focuses on a custom rider who joins a team, completes manager-set objectives, develops through a skill tree, and seeks leadership opportunities. Season planning includes rider fatigue, morale, weather, race demands, and changing objectives. The 2021 edition adds the European Championships, national teams, official Tour de France stages, licensed equipment brands, revised peloton behaviour, and updated quick simulations.
