krisa: i will do my best. I'll be controlling Denmark, so there's nothing more I can do for Gustav Larsson at this point. I deliver him in top-shape and then it's up to the Swedish coach to make him perform...
PCM rulezz: In deed it was. That's three wins in row for us now

World Championships - ITT
A very special route this year ending with a decent climb, which will make it hard for some of the TT-riders.
I will be managing the Danish national team this year, and have high hopes for Fuglsang on this route as he is in brilliant shape.
Even the bookmakers name Jakob as one of the favourites along with Nibali and Wiggins.
Surprisingly the Norwegian coach have selected our stagiaire Tobias Tonning for the Time Trial. What a big experience for the young Norwegian! Goes to show just how big a talent he is…
Sweden have selected both Tobias and Gustav for the race. Both are reasonably fit, but will probably lack a bit on this route due to their climbing skills.
Beñat Intxausti sets a very fast time early on. Will Christina Watches – Onfone get a World Champion?
Not quite as Malori holds best time when Fuglsang is off.
Gustav does good placing 3rd on the intermediate times while Edvald Boasson Hagen is too tired after a long season to impress anyone.
Surprisingly Larsson handles the hill very well and gets provisional best in goal!
At the top Jakob is 3rd, six seconds slower than the Swede.
With Nibali racing towards the top as the last rider we still have two riders on the podium.
Nibali is having a terrible day though and
GUSTAV LARSSON IS THE NEW WORLD ITT CHAMPION!

I find the 3-letter shortname of the time very appropriated, maybe you should win more

PCM Rulezz: Agreed
Daggen: A Swedish World Champion and Kessiakoff on the team next year - what more can you ask for
SSJ2Luigi: I will do my best, but two WC-medals to the team is definetely approved by me

Jakstar: It would, but Gilbert was just too strong. I had plan that might have worked, but he attacked about 1 km before I had planned to and then tehre was nothing I could do really
sutty: Three WC-medals for the team is still more than we we're counting on though
Miguel: Very happy with the 2nd place. It seems the worlds are all that counts for Gilbert in this save. Two years in a row he becomes World Champion after having done absolutely nothing all year
