There will be a thread explaining that at some point.. But Canada are only 39th in the Nations rankings, so do not qualify for the elite race - theres a limit of 24 Nations.

But we do not follow the rankings strictly either I presume, to assure some countries from every continent, or is that only in the olympics? |

That's certainly a nice looking course for Boasson Hagen. It should also be very nice to see the Norwegian team in the U23 race, as there are a couple of Norwegians looking for a future in the hilly classics.
I just cross fingers AI doesn't let us down and gives us a boring race. But the course should make for some entertaining and interesting racing |

Worlds is just the Top 24. But as it happens, there are nations from every continent anyway. There's 3 America Tour nations, 3 Asia Tour nations and 1 Africa tour nation, with the majority predictably being European.

Looks like a nice route for team Ireland, thinking about it. Roche and Martin should do well, methinks. Actually, do Ireland even qualify?

And with this course instead of Japan, I better pray for United Arab Emirates, Algeria or Indonesia to reach top 24 in country ranking before the season ends |

Who knows,maybe Hoffman will use PCM 12 AI and snatch the world title.
Japan would be imo much better AI wise...

So Germany then... well with all the hype on Japan's bid, I can't say I'm not surprised. I was under the impression most people were voting on Japan.
Portugal could have a slight shot with Avelino in a flat race. On a hilly course there's not much for us expect to go for the long attack.
Should be an interesting race though.

It was always close between those two.
In the first round and in the 2nd as well. |

Looking forwards to watching my first Worlds as a manager. Shame i have no riders of enough quality to attend...
Give it a couple of years and a Bulgarian team will make it, i promise

Only 1 of my riders might have really small chance to win I guess... If A long break makes it Vorganov would stand a chance...
Perhaps Fonte can show himself for Portugal if selected...
