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