Cycling Manager 3 - PC Games

The budget allocated by the sponsor is re-evaluated every year based on the results from the previous year. Relegation can cut the team budget drastically and force the manager to fire some good riders. Finances are more important and neglecting them could lead the team to bankruptcy. There is, however, the possibility that you can borrow cash from your bank when you run out.

In this update it's easier to comprehend training. Each rider can spend more or less time training in every rating category, optimising his time to fulfil his potential. Partnerships with real manufacturers let the player choose among real frames, wheels and helmets. At the start of the game, only standard equipment is available. As the player progresses, he can test new equipment. Each piece of equipment has a direct impact on the following ratings: Flat, Mountain, Time-trial.

Cycling Manager 3 incorporates an easier to grasp trading and contract negotiation system. A contract now includes a monthly wage, a signing fee and a bonus based on the number of UCI points earned by the rider during races (like in real life). Offering a very poor contract to a rider can now upset the cyclist who can then refuse any further negotiation.
