RENEWED WORLD RANKING:

• With the aim of being as realistic as possible, the leaderboards have been revamped and are now similar to how they work in real life. The world ranking of all riders and the ranking of the season's races are now consolidated for easy reference to individual results. Rider rankings are based on a 52-week system, and the 2023 season will start with the existing world ranking. The leaderboard will be updated every week, with points being added to or subtracted from the previous version. The update will subtract points from the previous year and add up the points earned during the current year. The worldwide team rankings will start January 1st, and each team will start with 0 points. It's up to you and your teammates to earn as many points as possible!

IMPROVED RACES:

• Improvements have also been made to races to make them fairer. Sprints have been reworked, peloton race finishes are now more natural, and race finishes are more realistic. During stage races and depending on the situation, cyclists can break away from the peloton to save energy for the next few days. This means that some cyclists are more willing and competitive during sprints and in the final stages of the races.
