About the game
What you do in a play session
Each cyclist has their specialty: the sprinter (green helmet) shines in sprints, the rouleur (blue helmet) excels on the plains, and the climber (yellow helmet) conquers mountains like a pro. Their movement changes depending on the course section and cyclist type. But it's not just brute force; strategy is key! Form "trains" with your cyclists to gain extra momentum, whether leading or following the group. Water bottles can be used for tactical attacks, but be careful, they are discarded afterward and remove the cyclist's attack ability. And don't forget the wind, which can slow you down or help you, depending on how you use it. Before each move, analyze opponents' positions, the terrain, the wind, and the best tactics. The race ends when the first cyclist crosses the finish line, but the ultimate victory goes to the one who accumulates the most medals: best overall cyclist, best sprinter, best climber, and best team. Do you have what it takes to be the best "Mind Cycling Manager"?
