The Giro, Tour and Vuelta - The 3 Grand Tour's of the year!
We have had this years Giro d'Italia, and we are currently going through this years Tour de France, but we haven't yet started this years Vuelta a España. This years Vuelta looks to be thrilling, with the climbs and the sprints. Ryder Hesjedal won this years Giro d'Italia, and Bradley Wiggins looks set to win this years Tour de France. Should Wiggins win the Tour this year, not only will it be Team Sky's first Tour win, but it will also be Britain's first Tour win too.

Pro Cycling Manager Season 2012
PCM2012 was released at the end of June. I had pre-ordered it in the hope that it would come on the day, but did not. I eventually got it just a few days after its release date, and I am enjoying the game. I spend more time on the online version of the game than I do on the single player version of the game. Below is a picture of the cover of the game.
