New 'Classic'
TDF 2022 will include a new classic inspired by a famous Italian race, 'The Primavera Classic'.
More varied racing situations
The game's artificial intelligence now offers a wider range of behaviours, which are better tailored to races and events.
Players will experience early breakaways more often and enjoy better collaboration in breakaways.
Race incidents
Players now have the option to enable or disable falls and illnesses as well as set the frequency when enabled.
The consequences vary depending on the severity of the incident.
Race preparation
This new system randomly selects five cyclists to be well prepared and five others who could potentially underperform.
This encourages players to keep a close eye on their competitors as well as their own team.
