No I actually want you to post routes that can be used, not what type of world you want. 
Was badly worded I know.^^

Thanks BikeX and the whole ICL team - great job.
Always great to see Saeco up the pointy end. Stage win and 'The Cat' consistently performing on TT and mountains once again.
Fantastic stuff.

The World Championship route should be something that suits my riders. So, how about a steep drop down a hill finishing in a pub somewhere in Yorkshire?
First to get the whole team a round of drinks wins. #StannardWC2015

Actually now that you mention it, the road race should be held on the track, with only overpaid and extremely disappointing riders present. #TheoBosWC2015
Seriously now, I like the idea of a medium-mountain or difficult hilly finish for the WC, doesn't rule out Gilbert from winning again but from what you guys have been saying it's a little different to last year's one.

I made a poll for deciding the profile of the worlds: https://freeonlinesurveys.com/p/Q1vaNE...qid=712093
Votable are:
Hilly with challenging finish
Medium Mountain
Hilly Cobbled
Tough Flat
You are allowed to vote for two of those. I hope to get enough votes still today so we can decide on a location already in the next two days. |

I'm missing the "hellish giro-like mountain stage"-option
Have to catch up on some results now:
Betancur quietly securing his podium spot, but nowhere near the two stage wins he delivered last year for Air France. Ecopetrols worst gc result in a gt of the year is Urans 4th at the giro. 
Avenir:
Great stage win by Godoy on the last day and Monardez attacking on 4 of 6 possible stages securing him his second KoM so far. These are some good applications for contract extension.

What jumps out at me is that the auto promoted teams from last season are just outside the relegation places and Ecopetrol, who were well down in the CT division, could still finish 2nd!
Well they went all in with Quintana and Betancur which was obviously the smartest thing one can do as a newly promoted team; you are automatically a big team then with such signings.
I still feel like most if not all potential leaders in ICL are underpaid. Domestiques don't make that much of a difference most of the time(, I would guess this will get a bit better with pcm 15). I'm paying Quintana not even 20 percent of my budget and he scored more points than some other WT teams in total.

@ Cyclotron - On the last part. True, prices for the top riders will have to go well above 2000. Hopefully we somehow get more interested teams in ICL season 3, as the more interested people we have then there will be more battling for the top riders which can only be healthy for the game.
P-T double bill up. |

Oh, Cav. Oh dear. Dear oh dear. Disastrous season. Complete write-off.
Strange result in the U23 race. I was hoping for a good result in McLay's last race at that level but it wasn't to be. Looking forward to seeing what these guys can do in the big leagues.
Spoiler It won't be good. I can assure you that. Just like the rest of my team.

Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker!
Quintana winninng at home, this should secure him the prestige and world tour crown as well!
Betancur 5th also not bad, the race was one of my goals.

Kristoff
Kristoff definitely improved over the course of the season. Not as strong as I hoped but still he got us some big results.
Bucamaranga was okay. Could not expect much so I'm happy with Kern taking a strong 15th place out of a break. Quite a nice way to show himself in what is deemed to be his penultimate race in CarbonSports' jersey since he will be replaced by younger riders at the end of the season. (Which is also the fate for quite some other CSC riders as we once again went for many scouted talents)

11 riders make final selection. For once, I have a rider in this 11-man selection. Where does he finish?
Yup.
I11uminati confirmed.

Since we are talking WC right now and SN has posted the Rio Olympic Games file, maybe we can add Olympic Games next season (PCM15)?
