Update, 11th of June: Still not seen enough? Cyanide released three new screenshots of PCM10 today. See them here.

All of us have some sort of relationship to the commentary of PCM - some love it, others hate it. Either way, there's actually a lot of work in recording the commentary, and with this short clip from Eurosport's website, you can see how Patrick Chasse, Eurosport's French cycling commentator, and Jacky Durand records the French commentary of PCM10.

Also, there's actually a short clip of the manager part of the game. You'll notice that it hasn't changed ;)

You can find the clip here.

Thanks to Aroda for the tip.

The Spanish website GameproTv has previewed Pro Cycling Manager 2010 which is set to be released on the 17th of June. I don't understand much of what's being said, but the video preview does include plenty of new video material, showcasing PCM10's in-game graphic. There's also a short video of the stage editor.

While we're waiting for a summary from our Spanish friends, you can see the preview here. Also, if you missed out update on the news article from the 3rd of June, don't forget to check out the new videos on the official website.

Thanks to Riccoen for the tip.

The Giro d'Italia is over, and I'm sure that many of you will agree when I say that a large group of riders deserved some new stats. Therefore, we've been working on a second version of out 2010 DB, and we're now so far in the process that we can release a Public Beta. These are the main improvements:

- 2 teams deleted (Rock Racing and CC Bourgas), 2 added (Scott Marcondes and ISD Continental Team)
- 1 new race (Tour of Oman)
- 2010 profiles for 35 races (including the three GTs)
- Updated stats (last changes made on 30th of May)
- New equipment setup (please read the FAQ), including all the new 2010 material
- Lots of new 2010 shirts, both normal shirts, national champion shirts, race leader shirts, and more.

Please keep in mind that this is a Public Beta. The primary objective is to find and solve the bugs for the final version which will be released during the next weekend (11th to 13th). You can report the bugs that you find in this thread. Read the FAQ before reporting.

With the release around the corner, Cyanide feels it's time to feed us with yet another trailer of Pro Cycling Manager 2010. Since we've had a few of these by now, I'm not going to make a huge deal out of it - so here's the link. Enjoy!
