Not a bad choice, although there is a big difference with the normal distance of 57,2
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Well as TT is the primary stat (with like 90+% weigting) in a TTT it's make no difference to the AI. PRL has no impact in stages over 20/25km and of course we are way short of STA range. I can't exactly say what impact FL has in a TT but again as long as the stage is over 20/25km the difference in negligable.

I can't select WC startlists, could someone maybe make a current DB where Firenze routes are selectable for WC startlist selection? Because I'm... not good at DB editing, like at all.

I might be wrong on this one, but it's probably easier to rename the stage files "topclas_lbl_v1" (or any other race) and make a startlist for LBL.

Should be able to change the classifications of the race to 1.1, that was the solution for NCs |

World Championships Team Time Trial
Preview
The World Championships are just around the corner. Really. They can happen any time now. Just wait. A few more hours. Or so.
The event will be kicked off by the Team Time Trial. Being probably the only Team Time Trial of any worth in the world of cycling next to the TTT of le Tour, many teams will look to win Gold, Silver or Bronze. Especially since household-name and all time favourite Omega Pharma are missing, including current TT World Champion Tony Martin.
As a result of this, the fight for gold might be an intense one. This discipline has sometimes seen very close duels between equal teams of greatness. But it can also be a one-sided show of dominance. It’s important that the team stays together for the right amount of time. Longer or shorter? Each time needs to find the right time and the right effort for the best possible time.
However, the distance of roughly 31,50 kilometers from Savigliano to Cuneo favors a more brute approach to racing in general. Throw all the power in it and hope it does any good. Quite contrary to TTT events, where more than 60 kilometers are covered. The tricky part of this event though is the ascent. You can guess it on the profile layout but if you ever ridden a bike, you know such ascents can hurt and demotivate you just like a real tough mountain climb ahead of you.
So, which teams you should keep an eye on? In the absence of Omega Pharma, the bookkeepers state Team SKY, Movistar and Belkin as the big favourites. Well, surely you can’t go wrong with Team SKY on this one. But what about BMC, RadioShack and Astana? All those teams field a great combination of proven TT specialist and worthy GC riders, who have a neck for Time Trials. And of course, never underestimate those wild PCT teams who want to show the world just what they are made off.
Stay tuned.

I don't really know actually, but I think it's about the number of riders that are required for taking the finished time?
