[Patatrasse]

Some news have been published yesterday (4th of June) and an interview (french speaking) will be released in about 2 or 3 days. I will try to make a brief sum up of the interview in English on this forum (after the interview is published).

Ok thank you

New sprint challenge
-> short scenario in which you must win sprint against other teams
-> arcade mode : less than 10 km, only one rider to control, no teamate, opponent team composed of 3 riders
-> available in local splitscreen (2 players)
-> each scenario available in 3 easy/normal/hard
-> leaderboards for hard mode (best player is the one who win with the biggest distance ahead)

Pro Team/Leader
-> New races in the calendar : Vlaaderen Classic (inspired from Ronde van Vlaaderen) + World championship (also available in Race mode)
-> Circuit for World Championship is random every year (3 circuits are available : flat/hill/mountain)
-> in Pro Team, becoming National team manager depends on the rank of your team at the end of the year and the results obtained in the type of the championships (if it is a mountain circuit, victories on mountain stages will help get the job).
-> in Pro Leader, being in the National team depends on the level and type of your rider and the results obtained in the type of the championships (if it is a mountain circuit, victories on mountain stages will help getting selected).
-> AI team roster depends on the profile of the race and are not the same every season (for example, they will put more mountain riders if there is more mountain stages than hilly stage on a Dauphiné).

Inrace
-> Huge modification on the trajectories of the IA. They are not on rails anymore. Trajectories and brakes zone are more natural and smooth, resulting in a better immersion.
-> When starting a classified climb, profile will be zoomed so that we can see perfectly the different slopes.
-> A replay has been implemented to see the last 3 km.
-> AI food management has been improved.

Menus
-> New interface to manage saves
-> New "Custom menu" for My tour where you can choose leader jersey kit (kit TDF or Vuelta or Italia) and number of rider per team (6, 7 or 8). Races in Pro modes and Race mode will also have a different number of rider per team to match reality.

New online mode "Cycling Series"
-> up to 4 human players
-> 2 riders per team
-> 3 laps races
-> the winner is the one who score more points. Points are given at the end of each lap.
-> Different circuit for climbers, puncheurs or sprinteurs are available.
