Glad you think so 
Writing the report.
2 laps left. So I hope 10 minutes left or so  |

I proudly present: The World Championships.
It's a long report, but I promise you won't regret reading it. I went all out for this one. Enjoy! |

Thanks.
I have a curious way of repaying your activity
Though at least you still have plenty of goals left, now

It's pretty much the thing I didn't want for Vague, since he didn't get a real chance at all. But alas, he'll bounce back from it. 
Is the czech U23 guy Avin's future cx rider?

Unfortunately, Avin said he has no time to join the game. But I thought to put a Czech rider out there anyway. Someone else can claim him, or else I'll probably put him in the game nonetheless
Hope you're not mad with this being the 2nd time this season I bring the curtain down on Vague's race Though to be fair, it happens in real life more than once in a season usually, too
EDIT: And at least Ada Marlow, Francis' girlfriend probabaly, did win

Lol, why would I be mad. No chance mate. On contraire, it keeps the game alive.

Matt will need several days to take note of the result 
He just wasn't strong enough and he didn't put on a show so I guess I should vmbe disappointed
Congrats to trek.

At least he wasn't 4th...
Well, Matt never had the chance to put up his show. If he had been at the front earlier, things might've turned out differently, but that move with Verboven, Cornelis, Lipawsky and Bauer was a crucial moment, with most favorites afraid to jump on it, not to waste any energy too early |

I think it was a great report and certainly for me an understandable result for Belgium who had the strength but much like Quickstep perhaps you can never cover all cards.
Pleasing winner.
Cook out of any chance but he has yet another powerful performance and plenty of reason to rant and rave which is always a good thing

Well, I would've been very annoyed if Verboven would've won that after being so quiet lately
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Phenomenal report, my heart was beating so fast and so hard that entire report, no joke. But.... You're joking.

Preview of the Ansbach Cross can be read here!
Don't worry about this, take your time to react to the World Championships. I did the preview now for the following reason:
Allow me to set the schedule for the following week:
I hope to do the Ansbach Cross by Tuesday. Do the Kwaremont Preview Wednesday and the Kwaremont cross on Friday.
Friday evening, I leave for a small holiday, not sure if I have internet/time there. So I want to conclude the Superprestige before I leave.
I'll be gone for 7 days, and then I'm back to finish the season |

Sure
Also, can you post an update to the UCI Ranking sooner or later? I am quite interested in it

Update on the UCI Ranking will come with the Ansbach report
Reason for this is that I always have to use my brother's ubuntu computer to update the races (race program only runs on his computer) and he's away until tomorrow evening or something |

Hmm, the report was harder to write than I thought. Sorry if that reflects in the quality. Hope you enjoy it anyway.
Here is the Ansbach Cross!

Wow! If only they hadn't started like that!
EDIT: Bauer & Bollinger both in the front row now!
