VoetsT: He deserves to end his career on a high note!
Shonak: Thanks. The race has first edition this yaer to mark the end of Hushovd's career. Guess he knows the route betetr than teh others with that effort on stage 2 
The Rider: Haha, you and your Greenlandics
We consider all the small teams our CT-teams. After all several of them only established after we became succesful and are focus on "our" countries...

 Autumn Tour of Norway
Stage 3: Kristiansand (ITT)
There’s not really much more to say than that this is 16 km of TT’ing and we have brought three potential World Champions, but Phinney, Malori and Fuchs are all here as well.
Quaade is having a bad day and finishes 4 seconds slower than Phinney
Alex enjoys his perhaps last race in the rainbow and comes 2 seconds short of the Americans time.
Good thing we can always count on Edvald!
Thor finishes 20th defending his GC lead
Stage Results | 1 | Edvald Boasson Hagen | Novo Nordisk - SAS | 23'40 | | 2 |  Taylor Phinney | Thüringer Energie Team | + 3 | | 3 |  Alex Rasmussen | Novo Nordisk - SAS | + 6 | | 4 | Rasmus Quaade | Novo Nordisk - SAS | + 8 | | 5 |  Michał Kwiatkowski | CCC Polsat - Polkowice | + 17 |
Stage 4: Kristiansand – Kvislevassnuten
The toughest finish of the race. We will do our best to protect Hushovd.
The boys do a good job making sure no break gets as much advantage as the one Thor was in.
Kennaugh attacks as soon as the climb begins. Chris and Edvald goes after him while the rest stay behind to work for Thor.
When Clarke decides to join the attacking all my boys are called back to reel him in as the Australian is only 13 second back in the GC.
Going into the final 5 km we have everything under control thanks to great effort from Chris, Matti and Edvald.
Rutkiewicz almost makes a break last, but going into the final km he sees the World champion leading out the biggest legend of Norwegian cycling.
For some reason on one else bothered sprinting and it became more of a show that we intended…
Stage Results | 1 | Matti Breschel | Novo Nordisk – SAS | 4h33’28 | | 2 | Thor Hushovd | Novo Nordisk – SAS | s.t. | | 3 | Edvald Boasson Hagen | Novo Nordisk – SAS | s.t. | | 4 | Chris Anker Sørensen | Novo Nordisk – SAS | + 28 | | 5 | Artur Krol | Bank BGZ | + 28 |
What a way for a true legend like Thor to finish his career!

Matthew21rp: and he makes sure his final blow is a good one
VoetsT: Yeah, had expected a bit more competition from the other teams with teams like Saxo, Astana and Statoil all here...
sutty: We could almost call it the "Ausumn Tour of Norway"
Shonak: Only the best is good enough when preparing for the Worlds...
welker: I think you're right
Next up will be the World Championships in Luxembourg. Don't know if the ITT will be up today pr tomorrow though.

 World Championships - ITT
Luxembourg
Based on recent results we consider Taylor Phinney the biggest challenger for the World Championships as neither Martin, Castroviejo, Fuchs or any other top TT'er have done anything worth mentioning lately.
We expect that it will be crucial that the riders make sure to save energy for the last part as that is by far the hardest.
| 1 | Edvald Boasson Hagen | Novo Nordisk - SAS | 1h11'01 | | 2 | Rasmus Quaade | Novo Nordisk - SAS | + 21 | | 3 | Taylor Phinney | Thüringer Energie Team | + 46 | | 4 |  Cameron Meyer | TEAM Dual Temp - Kenda | + 1'11 | | 5 |  Marcel Wyss | Team NetApp | + 1'31 | | 6 |  Paul Voss | O2 | + 1'40 | | 7 | Michał Kwiatkowski | CCC Polsat - Polkowice | + 1'43 | | 8 |  Frantisek Rabon | Red Bull Cycling | + 1'46 | | 9 | Sergej Fuchs | Volkswagen | s.t. | | 10 |  Artem Ovechkin | RusVelo | + 1'49 |
INterestingly enough we're the only World Tour team represented in top 10...

VoetsT: Thanks. It helps that Tony Martin wasn't in the slightest form, byt at least Edvald proved in the Tour that he is able to beat Martin in a more regular match as well

Matthew21rp: That's the one 
sutty: Very rewarding to see Quaade take silver considering that I didn't manage him in the race as I'm coaching Norway this year. Always nice that the custom training schedule pays off...

Nordic Cycling on top once more and that's although Rasmussen didn't deliver. Edvald shows that winning the Tour TT didn't come from nowhere. What a brilliant day for him. Can I bet my money on him becoming double world champion?

Shonak: Not sure if there's any bookmakres taking bets on PCM-stories, but maybe someone will take your bet that EBH gets double world champion in 2016
krisa: What can I say - he's starting to get old. Cancellara is no longer the TT beast he used to be. There's probably around 15 riders better than him on paper...

SilasColdfire: Thanks. If it's the squares like on this post you mean it's just pressing "quote" in the menu below.
Another tip I used a lot in the beginning when wanting to see how things are done is pressing "quote" as that allows you to see the code behind the post you quote

Great result from Boasson Hagen! Unfortunately Quaade didn't win. He has a lot of potention irl but it seems that nobody sees it. And Dumoulin best Dutchman on P34? What went wrong in the Netherlands?
