Great report tsmoha, a thrilling conclusion there with a result you will no doubt be proud of 
On a Colombian front, it's a bit of a shame Forero crashed as he could have potentially mixed it up there in the top 25 or so which would have been nice for a lowly CT team like us

Disappointing from Napo but Italy had a stacked team. Nice for Goss to get the win. Exciting race, and a great report once again!

What a fantastic effort from Kniesky, very proud of his efforts there!
What a rider Trofimov is, this race just ending what a ridiculous season he has as he only narrowly gets pipped, yet finishing in front of all the other top sprinters in the world.
Congrats to Goss and tsmoha!

Congrats to tsmoha though, a very deserving reward for your effort during this season.
@beagle: I expect you to gift me Nolf in the off-season for this complete fuck-up of a strategy.

Right... I saw Buts and Polivoda, guess that's atleast something...
Vaitkus nowhere, Greipel got Germany'd.
On the bright side: I won 500 PCM$

Wow nice report tsmoha and congrats on Goss. Was personally cheering for Bewley so nice enough third place I guess.

Thank goodness it wasn't Trofimov in a bunch sprint...
Exactly my thoughts. He has won enough already
Portugal's race turned from good to horrible in just 2 screenshots. It was great to see Machado's valiant ride, but it would be better to see Avelino contest the sprint.
Anyway congratulations tsmoha! I guess this is what people call karma, right? It couldn't have fallen over a more deserving manager. Congrats

Good to see a proper sprint, even though it was slightly disappointing to not see the greatest rouleurs give it a shot.
Huge congratulations, tsmoha! Great to see some real work in the sprint preparations being rewarded.
6th by Impey is good, definitely didn't expect more, even though he proved his abilities being that close to a medal. |

Thanks all for the congrats and kind words on the report(s)!
Hate reporting on a win from my own riders, but anyway, this was a thrilling sprint and therefore enjoyable to follow. Goss with a huge finish and - despite some troubles midway through the sprint - a great leadout/work from his teammates. Howard just became quite interesting for Oz
Feel sorry for those crashes (Avelino in particular) and some names missing (Ciolek). Always hard to notice those crashes' influence, but I guess Germany just went for Mohs and no leadout. With so many sprinters at the start, the AI had some tough choices here

Nice and anonymous from my riders. That's how I like it
Surprised to see Goss winning, but then sprints tend to be rather unpredictable - I'll admit that I was cheering on Kneisky though. And both thanks and congratulations must go to tsmoha, if anyone deserved a WC it's you |

Fantastic job throughout the WCs, tsmoha! Can't wait to see your NCs
A surprising result, I'd say, but I guess it would have been even more surprising if Trofimov would have won!

Fitting that tsmoha wins the WC after all his work on the championships (and the season as a whole). Huge congrats on having an Aussie world champion from the Oz Cycling project.
Surprising result but I guess with all the big riders it was always going to be a very unpredictable sprint. Our sole representative Gasparotto finished down in 120th, hopefully we can at least improve on that placing next year. |

Fantastic reporting throughout and massive congratulations to Tsmoha.
For Phinney to capture another rainbow jersey is a big get for him. Hopefully a good few to come as well.
For the elite RR I really didn't give Goss much of a shoot going into the race and even questioned the workload they took on relative to some of the other favorites. N the rend I'm really happy to see the former Wiki man bringing the title down under.

So many crashes...  Very entertaining read. Congrats for the win tsmoha.
Happy to see Ventoso finish 18th, that's a good finish for him.

Congrats to Oz, Goss & TSMoha. Seems that the nations overloaded with sprinters couldn't make their mind up who to support.
Disappointing showing from a South American perspective, no-one in the top 100 even. Something we hope to contribute to improving in future years. Guess part of the reason is obviously course suitability, and there was a heavy and successful presence in the 'B' race. Long term plans obviously required!

Completely deserved. Congratulations and thanks Tsmoha.
Happy for Moyano who was extra combative in the race.

Goss is a suprising result but underlines that sprints are unpredictable as ever.
Big big win and fitting with the rise of the Aussies into the Protour - obviously we have history with Australia with the Jayco Red Bull franchise. Matty Goss has been on our radar but not on our team.
Australia benefitted there as working as a proper team - no doubt Bewley was burnt out trying to get to the front.
Close to spectacular worlds for Russia and of course that lucky Wikipedia link!
