[p]If you encounter any bugs or want to share feedback, please add \[OPEN BETA] in your message title so we can track it more easily![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]🛠 Patch Note [/h2][p][/p][h3]Fixes (Race) [/h3]

• [p]Improved AI for flat/hilly stages with a small climb near the end: the player could too easily win or even monopolize the top positions in the stage.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Fixes (Career) [/h3]

• [p]Newgens: Improved limit/potential calculations to ensure riders develop more balanced attributes over multiple seasons.[/p]
• [p]Sponsors: Fixed a rare case where a sponsor offer could be invalid (showing a “label error” and an offer of €0).[/p]
• [p]Form: Fixed form peaks that could disappear after quitting and relaunching the game.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Additional notes[/h3]

• [p]The newgen fix only applies to riders generated after the update. In the 2025 season, riders born in 2007 are generated on January 1st. Therefore, if you are in a game in February 2025, those riders will not benefit from the changes. However, riders born in 2008 (generated on January 1st, 2026) will. [/p]

[p]-> On already started saves, expect a progressive rebalancing over time. [/p]

• [p]Regarding flat and hilly stages: even though the improvements are significant, more work will be needed in the future. This is a complex topic requiring deeper changes, which were not possible to include in this patch or in the short term. At this stage, we cannot confirm whether a future patch will address this specifically, further evaluation is ongoing.[/p]
• [p]About the occasional stuck animations: this issue is being looked into, but we cannot confirm with 100% certainty. It will not be fixed in patch 1.08.1.[/p][p][/p]

[p]Dear players,[/p][p][/p][p]A new beta patch for Pro Cycling Manager 2025 (version 01.07.00.541) is now available for everyone on Steam![/p][p][/p][p]Important note: This patch does not require starting a new save. However, the first Career fix (sponsor retention) only applies at the start of a new season. If you apply the patch mid-season, it is normal that sponsor changes may still behave like before during the first year.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]🛠 Patch Note [/h2][p][/p][h3]Fixes (Race) [/h3]

• [p]AI improvements, especially case where player is leader in Pro Cyclist and his teammates does not help him correctly (could also in some cases improve AI in every aspect).[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Fixes (Career) [/h3]

• [p]Sponsors: AI teams now retain their sponsors more reliably, especially in top divisions. Fewer related emails are sent.[/p]
• [p]Fix simulations with few cobbles and mountain/medium mountain races like Il Lombardia 2023 where some classic specialist could sometimes win/podium it. (it's both code and XML files so mods will have to upgrade from our patch).[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Modding[/h3]

• [p]Improvements to custom equipment (for modders): color masks are now taken into account.[/p]
