This years Tre Valli Varesine ended about two kilometers before the finishline in the World Championships, I think, but you still get a look at the last kilometers:
the giro stage that Voigt won ended with several laps of that very flat course

Elite Men Steven Cozza (Petaluma, Calif.) – Road Race Lucas Euser (Napa, Calif.) – Road Race
Tyler Farrar (Wenatchee, Wash.) – Road Race Levi Leipheimer (Santa Rosa, Calif.) – Road Race, Time Trial
Craig Lewis (Spartanburg, S.C.) – Road Race

Half of the Elite mens team live, not only in Northern California but Levi and Cozza are 10 miles apart and Euser is only 30 minutes drive from Petaluma. Nor Cal is going to kick ass at Worlds

I'd just like to point out that Denmark has 6 riders in the team for the first time in a very long time
And even that's bad, because that means Denmark is not one of the top 10 countries on the world ranking, which get to start with 9 riders.
