Going for a outside bet in Samwel. After a poor season a win by him would only be fitting.
Guldhammer wont handle the pressure. Kiser to round off the podium.
Would be awesome, allthough I doubt it. He had no podium finish the entire season iirc. Hope I'm wrong though, of course I'm cheering for him.
Also looking forward to see what the Iran squad can do. |

Guldhammer is obviously the big favourite, and I don't have particularly good memories from such a position in one day races this season, so I'm far from sure he and Denmark will handle the pressure and perform according to the stats.
If he's not up for it, I've got to cheer for Löfkvist, who proved in America that he's definitely strong enough to challenge Berhane, who seems to be the second best climber here according to stats, meaning a medal and even the gold should be a possibility for him. And it would be great after a pretty good season for Swedbank and viking90.
I've also got hopes that one or two of the Norwegians will show themselves, either one way or the other.
Really looking forward to the report, definitely the biggest chance for any Aker-MOT rider in the Worlds this season! |

Had expected to be on a winners team, but not Sweden! Congrats to the legend himself, and viking. Looked dominant in the end there.
Have to say, the race wasn't hugely entertaining. Hope for some more action in the upcoming races.
Thanks for the report, roturn

None of my riders tried, but Hacecký came 15th which is pretty good considering König doing quite poor.
Very interesting to see Sweden in the A-Worlds. Congrats on the first medals

Wow that was a bit unexpected but very very nice!
It was great seeing first Öste Macdonald attacking and after that Lövkvist/Löfkvist being alert and makes a huge win for Sweden!
Edit: In our euphoria after the win we forgot to say thanks for the report roturn

Not sure if I mentioned it in the report. But Campero was at least very very active. He was doing lots of work for Solis in the peloton. |

Breznik doing a great job winning the sprint for 156th, unfortunately the team leader couldn't deliver
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Well IRL life his name now are Löfkvist and in the MG DB he's named as earlier Lövkvist hence I wrote both, not to correct you in anyway |

Nice to see Kiserlovski active and in the front group till short before the end, but as already in the season, he doesn't climb like his 80 MO stat suggests.
Congrats to Lövkvist, it's nice to have the winner from PCT. Also great to see China with a rider in second, with two riders of my team riding for them.
Wu and Poorseyedi in 55th/56th also did great considering their stats, a shame though that Iran hasn't finished higher up, allthough Gilanipor was at least seen through the race. |

99th for Martinez, just inside the top 100. Had hoped for more, but he wouldn't stand a chance against the top contenders. Salas 68th is a nice result!
Thanks roturn

Kwiatkowski 3rd!
Really nice behind that scenes ride from Domagalski to see him finish 16th, so I'm happy.
Nice to see Sweden winning as I'm here now. And they are in our focus areas. Also really like Lofkvist, Congrats Viking.
Thanks for the great report Roturn.
