Agreed, nice win for him. Cunego was incredibly close though

Holy sh*t that was a close finish! Caps it off for EBH who has been great this season.
JTL did finish the race which was great for Boeing.
Brilliant Championships full of great racing. Now lets take this onwards the finish the season

Nice to see Boom and Bellis active.
Bellis might have suffered a lot to the stronger puncheurs when the sprint started. Would have been cool to keep the jersey within my team.
But huge congrats to ember for the win as also Italy for a great overall result even though they missed the win.
Disappointing for Germany even though two in the front group...

Very nice, and realistic WC RR. Well done with the reports, and a huuuuge congrats for the Boasson Hagen win! It annoys me more and more, that I couldn't buy him despite wanting to pay more money than the buyer
Oh well. He must be CRAZY expensive next season.
Some nice races, without us being really present. We need to be better next year.

Such a great race, and the finish duel couldn't have been more exciting!
Congratulations ember, definitely a great transfer move.
Sad to see you taking a break Count, again with that report you give us a million of reasons why the ManGame will miss your dedication and report quality the next months.
Enjoy the time off, you deserve it
To cap the WC off, some great racing topped by an amazing performance by Kelderman in the RR to improve our overall result from silver last year to a gold medal.

Great race, exciting finish. Was happy to see a rider of niconico win ... until I realised he'd sold EBH  Oh well.
My riders worked as domestiques, it seems. No display at all through the race - 20th by Sinkewitz is hardly a noticeable result. |

Thanks for the great report CountArach - and all the others you do. I thought Cunego was nailed on there in the closing stages, so what a coup by Boasson Hagen to beat him.
A bit disappointing by Schleck, but I feared he had little chance when the U23 race proved not selective enough.

Wow that was a great race. Thank you Count and congratulations to ember!
Schumacher must have had bad daily form, because it looked like he just sat in with the favorites group but still couldn't really contest the sprint. Oh well, still an exciting race.

Extremely enjoyable Worlds to watch right from the TTT - to the big race itself congrats to all the winners especially the main man Eddy Boss strange to think how much a changing of the guard this season has been with 3 new GT Winners of the respective race Phinney, Madrazo and Tenorio followed by EBH winning the worlds great season! |

An amazing report their Count, thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Thanks a lot, which also applies to everyone else who helped organise the Worlds. Great job as always.
None of my team were involved in the elites, but that's totally my fault after not seeing the selection messages. A deserved winner in EBH in the end, rode a great race tactically and saved enough energy to surprisingly outsprint a potentially stronger Cunego. Congrats to ember

Top notch report as ever Count - hope you enjoy Rome and get the chance to experience some real Life times amongst the tifosi.
Hagen a worthy worlds champion I think, he has found this edition of PCM to his liking - helped out no doubt by the expert pre season training he has become a true legend. He had to beat a legend to do so of course and in Italy a ridiculously powerful team.
A decent race I think, slightly better maybe than the U23's. Not the worst worlds in fact possibly better than the last two years. Congrats everyone on the organisational side.

Amazing!
The racing itself looked somewhat disappointing for a long time, but it was great to see fireworks on the two last laps.
I was quite sure the gold medal was gone 200 meters before the finishing line, but Boasson Hagen really proved his strength being able to hold off Cunego when the Italian had momentum going.
Huge thanks for all your congratulations, I really appreciate them. And a big thank you to you, CountArach. That was another great report. Enjoy Rome! |

What a thrilling finish! Not the most exciting race ever overall, so I was glad to see that there was a bit of selection towards the end. All that money Aker spent on EBH's transfer and training sure hasn't been for nothing! Congrats on yet another big win, ember!
I also want to thank the three of you who've done such a brilliant job bringing us all these events, since I haven't done that before. I hope you'll have a great time in Rome, CountArach!

Superb race that, really happy with Ponzi's Bronze as well. Showing his ability even as a domestique!

Spain were disappointing, but I didn't expect any better.
Thanks for the report, and congrats ember
