If you played/made reports, it wouldn't be nice to insist on replaying. I guess I can deal with his absence

I'm surprised not to see Nico Roche neither RR nor TTT Irish NT. I don' t know how many selectors has been for Ireland, but neglect one of the best riders is kinda strange...
Anyway, thanks for preview!
Sounds like a mistake in the startlist, as he at least was in the confirmation PM from jph27, listing the 8 riders selected for the RR and the TTT. And I also voted for Roche, as I'm sure others picking riders for Ireland did as well.
Not too big ambitions for the A Worlds considering my own riders. Martin could fight for a top 15, but probably not much more considering the amazing startlist. It is kind of funny though that he's the only rider I've got in the A Worlds RR 
Higher hopes for the B Worlds though, as Guldhammer must fancy the route and his chances. Hoping he gets a good daily form, then he should at least be in contention for gold. Looking at Norway, it's not a team for a big result, but hopefully the riders can race aggressively and be part of both the early breakaway and also mid-race moves.
And to all of you that are doing work on the Worlds, both behind the scenes, reports and other stuff, thanks a lot! |

Hopefully the startlist doesn't cause too much of an issue.. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing a climber in the WC jersey. I think that mountainous TTT is going to be especially interesting as well. Thanks for reporting this roturn.

2015, the year Roche got robbed of the title 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Roche outrageously robbed of title, what a horrible world we live in.
On a more serious note, don't really have any ambitions. Mullen being competitive in the U23 TT and Marquez doing anything at all in the RR would be cool. Also nice to see half the Irish team rides for us, hopefully wecacan further improve on that in years to come.

Don't have any hope for my riders so I will be more of a spectator, really like the profiles and the location of the race. Best of luck to all of those competing |

You were the only selector, so yeah he was selected. Problem could potentially be that he had the wrong Rider ID in the file I used, but I didn't check those as I went through and just went with what I'd been given - so I'll hold my hands up and accept blame. |

Thanks for the preview 
I've got Domagalski, Dabrowski and Marczynski here for Poland and Zeits for Kazakhstan, so I'll be behind the Polish team, hoping that Domagalski doesn't end up fully on Domestique duties for Kwiatkowski although happy if anybody from Poland or Norway does well in the B worlds.
The other races I reported or don't have anybody in (aside from the A Worlds) so just excited and hoping for good racing.

Looking forward to the racing, as I have in every race but the U23 ITT a rider. My best shot at winning something probably is Kiserlovski in the B race, allthough with the season he had I cannot expect much.. |

I'm not sure what to think of this championship, the TT is not ideal for Fiedler but the hope is the last to die.
Do not quite understand is its absence of the German team for the TTT

Would be nice to be apart of the winning team in the TTT with Anton. Otherwise expectations are low, hoping for a ``miracle`` win by Amador in the worlds.
Anyway, hoping for a thriller either way.

Kwiatkowski and Samwel could get a surprise result in the B RR, as could Kudus in the U23 RR. Hopefully we get a top 10 in one of the races on our home continent. |

There are lots of German time trialists and the TTT is mountaineous. So Fiedler might have been useless there. Same reason why Kittel isn`t there. |

Go Kazakhstan! Nepomnyachsniy should have an outside chance at winning the B-WC, and with the support he has he shouldn't get isolated quickly.
5/8 Riders from Ukraine are mine too, good to see a crappy PCT team can still do a better job at a national focus then the great PT team which has won 2 GTs

Morton for the Avenir-U23 WC double!
No more ambitions here, so I will relax and follow the races with some kind of neutral interest Thanks to roturn and all others, who will cover the action from this beautiful piece of earth!

Really looking forward to these - away from the pressure of points gathering we can all party gayly together on Avin's butt when Pluchkind puckers up with the podium boys.
The TTT boys are going to be shivvering in their onesies up and down the lumpy stuff. That is one unique challenge at last the Dutch will get their commupance.
This is one area I miss not having women in database no womens worlds. Perhaps Bos, Bakari and the other useless crud can agree to have sex change so that we can all have a bit of extra fun?

No points pressure so I will enjoy seeing LLS crowning his season from a break.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |
