Difference between normal and hard?
Cracky
Can anyone tell me what the main differences is? Been wondering about that the wind never splits up the peleton i my games a normal for example.

As far as I'm aware, higher difficulties is mainly a matter of the AI riders getting higher, althohg invisible, stats.

Wind has split my peletons on occasion on Normal. Matter of fact, to my dismay, Cancellera got caught on the wrong end of a split during Milan-San Remo and finished 20th.

As Crue says, the difference is that the AI-riders get more energy.

Imo the differences are like this

Mountain: Little

TT: Hugh

Sprint: Big

Hill: Tiny

Cob: Little

Well, realism sucks, eh?

My own opinion is that it's a bit random - like in real life.

A while back I played the same mountain stage of the TdF with Valverde. I was 3rd on normal - maybe thru overconfidence, 2nd on hard and 3rd on extreme.

There was a difference in time gaps - I was about 20 seconds back on normal, 40 on hard and around a minute on extreme.

Then again, if you play on normal this will happen. Wink

Difficulty changes stats of AI riders. With easy AI riders have 95,9% of their stats. Normal: 100%. In hard 102,5%. Extreme: 104,9%.

So let's see Contador stats 80 Mountain (I don't know the real one).

Contador in easy has 95,9% of 80 = 76
Contador in normal has 100% of 80 = 80
Contador in hard has 102,5% of 80 = 82
Contador in extreme has 104,9% of 80 = 83,92 (84)

You can see this in the sheet called STA_race_difficulty in the Local.cdb
