I like cobbled races in PCM 2006: realistic riding on cobblestones and realistic results. Omloop is for Big George this time


Yeah, clicking the image works fine for me. And I do not see it as a problem.

nice, love pcm06 nice to see people still play it and even write stories

I don't think having to click on the image to read it is any problem either. I like the look of it

The craziest thing about this story is that Francisco Mancebo is your veteran leader in 2006, but he's still riding now.

As Davide Rebellin too! Mancebo is 45, Rebellin is 49 y.o. and both are still active This is true love for cycling.

@ All - Thanks for responding about the image. I think I might play around with a few more designs, but I really appreciate the feedback so far.

@ Markene - Thanks

@ Tomcat & baseball - Indeed, I think he still gets pretty decent results in Japan. I dont think he's even raced at top level since 2008 or earlier but to still be riding is amazing.

Predictable results. We don't wait anything in cobbled & hilly classics from AG2R, but maybe stage win in Paris-Nice for a start

Tough start for AG2R with 31 and 41 in the first 2 races. I am certain you'll build up from this.

Another three 40+ guys (they all are 44 y.o.) who are still active for now:

I clearly remember Manuel (the Cat) Medina and Jose Chacon in PPDB Giant 2005 Database and Oscar Sevilla - he does not need to introduce him.

Found them browsing results of Vuelta al Tachira 2021

Thanks guys. Its been a tough start so far, but I promise things get better soon.

Jose Chacon was a legend in PPDB.

Also, sorry about the slow updates recently, my girlfriend and I have both had graduation ceremonies, and I've been looking for a career now. I was interviewed by a former professional cyclist the other day, which has got to be about the last thing I was expecting, being from Canada.

Congratulations to the both of you! And good luck on your next endeavor!

Wow, congrats! Just wonderful, good luck to you!

So it's time to take part in prediction games

Man this is just the best PCM ever. For me at least. I am 27yo, played every PCM has ever existed. The memories are infinite!
Even nowadays I still have the music on my mind xD "mooove, yourrr, booodyyy"
Im very happy to see there are people still playing this game!

Haha, you were right. The TT was just weirdly played by the AI. I guess they ride a consistent pace, but I went hard on the climb and then knew I wouldnt burn as much for the descent. The other was a nice breakaway win, which worked out really well I think, compared to 2021 AI.



Nice of you to post here! Welcome.

I am really enjoying it all, and I miss the names of this era. The music is definitely better from 06-08 than in the newest games too.

Man, I really have to see if I can't find an old copy of that game somewhere Congrats on the first stage wins. And I like the presentation, too

I noticed AI is perfect on flat TT, but there're some issues on hilly and mountain ones from PCM 2006 to PCM 2020 (didn't play PCM 2021 yet). For example I played for Polish DHL Author (very weak team) in PCM 2010 and I won many hilly TT with those guys...

P.S. And yes - I also went hard on climbs didn't spending much on later downhills. AI just can't count so.

Congratulations on the stage victories! It was also good to see Basso winning a stage, although he was so far behind in the GC.
