Hello everyone, i tried some times this mode but i remember it was harder than "classic".
I usually play in "Extreme", and with a custom team of 800'000 budget i'm first in CWT ranking with about 1000 points more than 2nd team (QST) and 2000 to 3rd, after winning LBL. I've Nibali, Viviani, Ulissi, Moscon, Colbrelli, Roglic, Aru, Lutsenko, Gallopin, Bettiol...i've won STDU, ToTA and have many other Top3, Top5, Top10...
I tell you this to try to give you an idea about my "skills" level.
Which difficulty do you think i should play in Pro Cyclist? Hard or Normal?
I've 19y old Grand Champion (Northern / Stage Races) and i want him to be a new Sagan, but not an Eddie Merckx, i'd like to win the race where i'm the best, not everywhere just because difficulty is too easy, and not to lose even when i'm stronger because difficulty is too hard.

Thank you
I recently did a one-off race as BORA, just to find an answer to this question. After seven stages, I had two wins and a healthy lead in the points competition. I then skipped ahead to stage 9 into Roubaix and we let a seven rider break get away. Sagan still had the chops to attack and finish 8th. This was on extreme difficulty, so I’d say that extreme is the most realistic choice for your rider. You’ll win races, but you’ll have to get the tactics right. I would definitely go with hard instead of normal, if those are the only two choices you are considering right now.
As I said, my choice was between Hard and Extreme, with the rider i said i have now 13 victories, including Fleche Ardennaise, 2nd in Eschborn U23, Roubaix U23, 8th in Continental Ranking...i thought that without entire team it was harder, but it actually isn't, I think i'll pick Extreme difficulty in another career or next season.

Difficulty is only a coefficient aplly to AI rider's stats
By default : easy : 0.95, normal : 1.0, hard : 1.025, extreme : 1.05
You can customize those coeffs in the local.cdb -> race_difficulty
