I am SO glad that this is last TT report in man game history where i had some riders competing. I hate it, i really do, such a nonsense. Grr
Can somebody check Zmorka in the database please? I was pretty sure he has 82 in TT, but he rodes like 79-80 at best whole season. Is there not a mistake in the database?
Also warning to potential buyers from FA, dont buy him, he is worthless. 100k in wages max
Edit: Also these s.t....engine is clearly broken, total shit.
Why would you discourage potential buyers?
Because i am friendly guy, who would be sad to see someone fail with high wage Zmorka.

Absolute thriller between the Dutch and the Aussies in that TTT! Very happy with the win and our contribution in the form of Veelers and Terpstra.
Congrats to Phinney on the mighty win. I'm impressed by Koren's time and Kangert wasn't bad either.

Wow, Festina just can't stop being successful. Still as expected - a win for Phinney, congrats.
That s.t. things is likely an error in the stage. Weird.

Phinney is a good winner, I lost a lot of money on my longshot on Cance

Ewan   Awesome ride from Caleb, really he played that exactly as he should. Not working and trying to save as much energy for a sprint as possible. The others wouldn't drag him around, expectedly, so in the end he went off and did the job himself. For a sprinter, that's an incredible performance. Holding up the end for the Aussies and reminding everyone that it's not just Jayco with the big down under talent 
I'm super impressed with that performance, fantastic way earn out first WC Medal!
Wolverine slightly dissapointing, but i guess that can happen when you're a one-man team. Top15 for a first-year lvl1 pro, that's still a strong result. And De Boss managed to finish, which is great experience.

Jams pretty good but running out of fuel at the end, but I guess that can happen when you're a one-man team. Top5 for a first-year lvl1 pro, that's still a strong result.
Well they weren't even the best lvl1 pros, Spengler and Kasperkiewicz showing how illegal they are/will be PCM screwy AI might have tired Jams out (Kasperkiewicz needing to attack more often, etc.) enough to lose the medal (why couldn't the three that kept getting away just work) but still great performance from him here. Slightly dissapointing way to do it I guess and deserved more, but then again, top 5

Nice with a home win
My guy never really had a chance, not much he could do when the big guys turned up the speed

Thrilling u23 race with a nice deserving home winner. Im glad Spengler was a factor and came away with the bronze, while Dylan Page made the breakaway. Hopefully it is a sign of things to come!

Very entertaining race! Feels like the whole championship has been building nicely towards a great elite road race as well, and the u23 race only adds to that, I feel.
Cool, and almost scary considering the future, to see 1.0 Kasperkiewicz claim a very deserved gold. Congratulations! Doing it on home soil only makes it nicer.
Also congratulations to the medal winners, must say Ewan was a big surprise doing a tactical perfect race.
Thank you for the report, jandal7! |

Amazing!
After the home team controlling the race well despite having a break the same size of the team (Thanks Rekita/Kaczmarek!). Kasperkiewicz took every opportunity to attack (even if he refused to work with anybody but himself ) and raced with the fighting spirit similar to LLS which I love to see in Netia riders.
The most amazing bit though is to cap it off with a brilliant win, especially for Poland to have a home world champion, entering the final historic climb solo and giving the home crowd a salute.
As for the other riders quite disappointed to see Novardianto miss out on a medal, raced perfectly but just lacked the legs at the end and Spengler and Ewan also deserved medals at the end of that. Mostly surprised as well to see Herklotz performing badly as I had him down as the biggest competitor for Kasperkiewicz.
Thanks a lot for the report jandal, was amazingly detailed and tense to read, you and the hoyle have really made the World's reports pretty spectacular so far with a really good feel to it and a lot of detail.

No news, that you have the biggest Aussie talent, TMM nice one, this race though.
Great to see a local hero grabbing gold! Another brilliant read, too.

RR: Great report of a great race. Cool to see a home winner during the Champs, and some interesting names and nations showing their face. As a development team, WCC delighted to have so many starters, and even better, some solid performances . Sanogo (7th), Sweeck (9th) and Venturini (10th) all competed well, even the likes of Peters also made it into the top 20. None of these guys are going to be superstars, but good solid career prospects ahead of them.
On the TT front, again great reports, and big congrats to RBC on securing both U23 and senior title, impressive! WCC again showing face with Sweeck and Mayho both rounding out the top 15.
Only the elite RR to come, but still a lot to look forward to in that race.

Kasperkiewecz is oh so good, it's been really nice to have seen him in breaks throughout the season and knowing that he will be a top talent in the game, this victory just adds to the hype around him. I'm sure trek will be tempted to sell him, offers will be coming in

Superb race and report, thanks jandal!
Also nice to see my rider being a nice help to the world champion, congrats! Kaczmarek looks like a nice talent for the future - 17th is also a nice result for a stagiare.
Now can't wait for the main event. The biggest chance ever for Sam Bewley, still expect a really strong Belgian team will surely beat him, GVA should have an advantage over Sam in that last climb. Summerhill can surprise too.

Nice of Kwok to get 18th at the ITT, great result for asia! Also noticed Kuroeda would have had pretty much perfect stats for the U23 race, so too bad he couldn't be there.

That was pretty amazing from Novardianto, did not expect him in the top 5 at all. Was a pity he couldn't hold onto Kaspa's wheel toward the end. Full credit to him though, that was great.

Well after his season and having great all-around stats and acc I hoped he could and thought he could but wasn't expecting it - fantastic performance from him. Yeah shame he couldn't hold on to Kaspa or Spengler's wheels - Spengler at least probably could've outsprinted with energy in the tank and a real shame he couldn't quite get the medal but top 5 is amazing
P.S. He's mine forever

Great job by Vlatos and Spilak to get medals. The first ever greek WC medal (except for the one in the B Worlds a couple of seasons back).
