I just got it working.
It seems you have to switch your time zone to GMT +1 (for us fools
living
on
this side of the pond) otherwise it crashes.
I'm also pretty sure you need DirectX 8.0.
There are some patches, but I'm not sure what they're for yet
(nothing
serious, I assume, just improvements).
BTW, this game looks pretty cool so far, I would recommend it to
everyone
out there.

any clues to what the buttons do? . . . I think I figured out the
hr%
slider, but the chain and such? seems like a great way to kill time
at
work, but an english version would make it easier . . .

Chain = relay at front of peloton (rider must be near front to begin
with).
First click (green) = Work in chain gang. 2nd click (Blue) = hard
relay
(rider will not allow another rider past until he's cooked)

Round Red Button = Launch Attack (again, it is best if the rider is
at the
head of affairs)

Little "S" button = Launch sprint (there seems to be a problem with
the time
compression cos succesful sprints can start at 4km from the line!)

The 2 measurement bars are for Energy (top) and Stamina (bottom). The
blue
bar is easily recovered by resting after a major effort (or riding in
a
slipstream). The green bar is a much longer term measurement - if
that goes
to zero your rider has bonked!

You can also click on 1,2,3, which are food musettes (3 per stage)

The little light bulb represents whether the rider is under AI
control (when
the bulb is lit) or human control (when the bulb is dim). A rider
under AI
control will carry out his pre-set strategy.

I think there is an english manuel on the net (iirc,
www.cyanide-studio.com/manuel.zip ) but its quite a big download.

By the way, I recieved the full game today from france. It's really
cool,
with just about every big (and little) race you can think of. But I
don't
know how long it will last until it all gets a bit repetitive.

Hope that helped,

George
