Patch 9 is live!

Dear players,

After weeks of tests in the Open Beta, the new patch is finally here!

Changelog:

Race

Sprints improvements:

• AI team trains are now better organized, making sprints more challenging.

• Fixed a bug causing riders to start their sprint too late when low on yellow energy (especially in breakaways or small groups).

• Sprinters now lose more speed when running out of red energy during a sprint.

• Fixed bugs that made sprints harder for players against AI.

• Fix several physical and energetical bugs.

Selectivity Enhancements:

• Races are now more selective, especially hilly classics (e.g., Liège-Bastogne-Liège) and medium mountain/mountain races (e.g., Il Lombardia, Tour de France MO stages).

• Improvements to race physics and the energy system, with a bigger impact for low END attributes.

• Slightly increased watts difference between top riders and average riders for attacks and very high efforts.

• AI now sets stronger tempo on hilly or mountainous classics with challenging second halves.

• Leaders may also behave more aggressively.

• Fixed bugs that reduced leaders’ willingness to attack in situations where it was appropriate.

Freshness:

• Freshness now decreases more rapidly over consecutive race days.

Career
