What are the improvements in the AI?

[3emeType]

- numerous reasons not to collaborate are integrated to AIs. Consequences :

- emergence of lots of interesting situations,

- sometimes nobody wants to work (be careful to attacks!),

- favorites have to support the weight of the race and outsiders have more chance to create the surprise.

- improvement of attacks

- beginnings of races are harder.

- outsiders are more willing to attack,

- favorites that are late at GC are more offensive than others. The yellow jersey is less disposed to attack.

- effort management

- during a stage : an escaped rider better manages his energy,

- during a Tour : a rider not good on a stage will avoid following the leaders to keep his energy for future stages.

- improvement of intermediary sprints preparation.

- and lots of little improvements.

You tell that AI might not work in for example an escape. But will you have the opportunity to ask to take over like the AI can do towards you in previous PCMs?

[3emeType]

No, but it's possible in certain conditions in Tour de France 2012 (you can trade a victory for an help in the escape).

Any change in the time trials for teams? Thanks

No, we've concentrated all our efforts on the normal race.
