I'm shocked I'd thought it'd be the greatest game ever.

No machine gun nests?

No sneaking of doped beef into team hotels?

It entails pressing buttons faster to go faster. It's reminds me of one of those 3D exercise bike games you find in hotel gyms, minus the exercise.

Sounds a bit like the 'Winter Olympics' game I used to play on my Commodore 16 about 25 years ago then. The damn speed skating broke my joystick.

Would have been less guff as a 'Football manager' type thing then?

I would imagine it would be similar to the old Daley Thompson's Decathlon game from the early 90s (I think) where you just wore out your keyboard and wrist by repeatedly pressing two alternate buttons as fast as you possibly can.

Yes Jon you can't hide your age when you use 1973 in your login name.

TBF sitting in the sunshine in Provence necking vino, before rising to paint rude words on the road, is much more fun.

All that lycra really worked for you then, eh?

Is it the console version or the PC one? The PC one seemed interestingish when I played the 2009 or 2010 version

Atlaz I have the xbox version. It will be on eBay this weekend if anyone fancies bidding. I lied before, it's the best game ever! So bid high on what's sure to be a FUTURE COLLECTABLE, super rare, sold out item. A MUST for fans of the tour and games alike. Don't miss out!
