In terms of numbers, Amazon.de has provided the most screenshots of Pro Cycling Manager 2011 for PC. They weren't first, though, but thanks to another "leak" (well, releasing screenshots before the game has been officially announced is some sort of leak...) we now have the very first screenshots of the Tour de France 2011 game for XBOX and Playstation 3.

Edited: The screenshots are now finally available in our screenshot section. Look for the screens starting with "Console"

Along with the screenshots, Amazon has also been nice enough to provide a product description. It fits quite well with the rumours that we've posted previously: It will be possible to play all the 21 stages of the Tour de France, and judged on the screenshots and the text, it does appear like you're playing with one rider only.

Thanks yet again to EintrachtFan for the tip.

There you go, Norwegian friends.

For once, it's a Norwegian / not a Saxo Bank-rider who's on the front of the official Scandinavian cover for Pro Cycling Manager (2011). With Thor Hushovd winning the World Championship, they pretty much had to put him on the cover.

Unlike the official cover, the Scandinavian cover usually has a real photo of a rider or a bunch of riders on the front. That tradition goes on this year.

You can see the cover here.

A few days after the first official PCM11 screenshots were released, we have another serving ready for you.

The screenshots were found by EintrachtFan on the German retailer Amazon.de's website. It's just the usual in-game screenshots, showing the peloton in different situations -- but hey, it's something.

You can see the screenshots here.

One of the most requested features for Pro Cycling Manager is the "Be a Pro"-mode that makes it possible for the player to control one rider instead of directing an entire team. Cyanide has always responded with a "no" to that feature, but according to a member of PCMBenelux, who says that he's been in contact with a beta-tester of the console version of PCM, the game is much like the Tour de France game made by Konami back in 2002.

It's possible to control the rider, and it's possible to crash - just like in Konami's game. Unfortunately, it's said that Tour de France is the only playable race, and it's also said that there's no online multiplayer.

Keep in mind, though, that we have this information from EintractFan who got the info from a Dutch member who says he's been in contact with a beta tester. So the chances of this being 100 % true are quite slim.

However, we like the idea of a more arcade-like game for the consoles.

The game is set to be released on the 16th of June for both XBOX and Playstation 3. The price is currently set to 50 €.

So with about 1½ month to the release of Pro Cycling Manager 2011, Focus realised that they had still yet to release some screenshots. We have added the first three official screenshots of the game to our PCM11 Official Screenshots section.

The screenshots don't reveal much, but it does seem like that some work has been put into the equipment side of the game. It's also worth noting that Clément Pinget earlier today revealed that "accessories are coloured automatically".

Read on for Focus' full announcement.

Update: As spotted by Alexkr00, it appears that the national / world championship stripes on the shirt are back. You can see them on the Rabobank rider on this screenshot.
