How it plays

From Ghenos Games website: The centenary Giro will be a memorable stage: the track will go through important Italian cities such as Venice, Milan, Rome, Naples, Florence, Boulogne, Genova putting all cyclists (above all Lance Armstrong back at his first Giro) under pressure from the first week on the Dolomites. The game is a spin off of Leader 1 but will focus on the most famous Italian bicycle race.
