Don't want to see another disappointing race from Boasson Hagen, so I went with mountains 
More seriously I follow alexkr00's logic, we've had hills and cobbles recently, it feels like it's about time the World Championships go to the mountains again. |

I wouldn't mind a mountain route as long as it's somewhat realistic - not some kind of battle to the death |

Mountains because that'd be something I'd love to see.Too many hilly routes I think. Would love to see the WC in a smaller, more obscure country.

I would like to see a mountainous WC but maybe one that starts with a couple of big climbs and ends on a hilly circuit, think it could be more interesting and tactical, not clued in with PCM14 but if anyone knows of one?

Doesn't matter much to me as far as my riders, but I'd like to see a mountain one.

No surprise I went cobbles, looks like Mountain going to win though, agree with what another said before, avoid a mountain top finish, makes the race better.

Voted mountains, as other said we havent have one for a while and i want to see Schleck vs. Pluchkin vs. Spilak battle that was missing this year so far, of course together with other great climbers like Alarcon, Amador, Tenorio and....... Madrazo (  )
And of course i cant pass the best chance ever to do a Vuelta-Tour-WC triple.

Mountain seems to be the next route.
My vote was hilly despite having no rider for such profile. Mountain I can only see 3 riders winning, which steals a bit the excitement of the Worlds. On a hilly route a lot more riders/teams have chances to win or even surprise. |

I voted hilly, because then a cobbler, sprinter, mountain goat or Ponzi all have 25% chance of winning!

For me it does not make much difference because I have not anyone capable of winning in any of these grounds, but still my vote was for the hills

Well as FroomeDog suggested it might not have to be an uphill finish. A downhill finale could possibly mix things up a bit.

Voted Mountains in the hope Scarponi can take the B world crown for San Marino, just a shame that either way I won't have the funds to sign him if we go down.

I voted cobbles. That was definitely not a biased opinion...

Hills for Gautier, or Mountains for Pinot? It's hard to choose which terrain to top 25 in |
