 The South African webshop that recently revealed the new features of Pro Cycling Manager 2013 has dropped another bunch of news - this time about Cyanide's console game Tour de France 2013 that's set to be released for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 in June.
As the previous years, the game is going to centered around the Tour de France route where you can take control of any rider on the teams in the game.
However, as one of the new things you will be able to create your own custom tour and play your selection of stages from the Tour de France. Assuming Cyanide will release additional tours, like in previous years, you might be able to mix and match from the various races.
Racing wise, it's mentioned that the teams now have certain objectives linked to them - and completing these will be reflected on a player's progress bar.
Other than that, the info on the webshop mentions graphical updates (new engine for animations, new podiums, buildings, scenery etc.).
