I think I have to clarify myself a bit. I don't want a pan-flat WC, but a one that gives sprinters the chance of succeeding at all (real sprinters I mean with that). But I just checked and since 2011 was sprinter-friendly and as far as I know 2016 in Doha should be sprinter-friendly again, that is ok. But f.e. I don't know one WC that ended in a summit. However, I won't change it and complaining doesn't help either..
More importantly and I originally wanted to post just that: I'd also be interested in what PCM makes out of Ponferrada

After a lot have agreed on Ponferrada, Ponferrada it will be. That's the easiest.

On the World Champion.
Other than that, no.

Would you guys be interested in a U23 WC? |

U23 WC of course! Maybe TTT WC too?

I think about it.
You may have noticed I posted the ITT national champions thread, you may also have noticed that the spoilers are still empty, except for the last one. In this one you will find the national champions that excel gave me for the countries that won't be played. I decided to play the NCs for the countries that have 8 or more riders signed up. If there is enough space I will add two free agents teams to the startlist to have a higher number of participants and have a more stable gameplay.
It is still likely in smaller NCs that the break won't be chased. If that's happening I will use my control riders to bring the pack closer to the break in the last kilometres and make it possible that the break is caught, not by me ofc.
Teams that have more than 8 riders of the same country can have two teams in the race, if there is enough space.
I will play one ITT championsship tonight. The first one to name a country can decide which one. |

Australia. The alphabet has spoken.
Also:

Good to see he's finally moved on from Friends. I mean, anyone remember Joey? That was awful.

On the season:
Great first season for ICL as a whole and a brilliant season for LA-Antarte. The mighty Portuguese team finished 2nd in the CT rankings and 10th in the Prestige thanks mainly to Velits, Costa and Pellizotti. Great work by TMM's team as the other CT team high up in the rankings.
On the Goals:
Very well picked by me A win in the TTT Colombia Team GP. A GC win and 3rd as well as two stage wins in the Tour de Pologne being one of our season highlights. And 4th in GC and many top 5s in the Tour de Romandie. So goals went very well indeed.
On the World Championship:
Needs to be hilly enough that Costa and Portugal can defend their RR crown, that is all I really care about.

Bikex - I think you should get an admin (TMM) to move the ICL15 - Signup thread to the regular story section temporarily. It will probably increase the chance of drumming up some interest as I reckon only the same people view the story games section. |

I've been thinking about opening a thread in the stories section, but last time I did so, it got moved here. I think I'll be opening one after the WC.
Added Belgium, Indonesia, Norway, Poland and Slovenia. All NCs that have results already are bolded.
I'll be doing 5 more today, you name the countries. |

Would like to see Germany, as that is one of the few countries where I will win.
Mohoric and Enger did well.

Czech Rep, Spain, Germany, Canada and Ireland added.
Sorry you were a little late The Rider, I've already played the races before you posted, but Canada got also selected by me. |

You mean like adjusting the riders to their real life results? Or just that riders will develop? Both actually. Young talents have to be developed especially Aru, Majka and so on. But some other guys have to be downgraded Boonen , Gilbert, ...
And please it should be handy that we can talk about all riders. (not only the best ones)
I had a really annoying season as my guys only took some five stages while they in real life have 20 or more

You have failed to understand the concept of a STORY GAME ...... 
Seriously, you should read the rules before posting nonsense ......
