Patch 9 is live!

Dear players,

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

[h2]Changelog:[/h2]
[h3]Race[/h3]
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.

[h3]Selectivity Enhancements:[/h3]

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.

[h3]Freshness:[/h3]
