I agree it's a good idea about the route type. We already had a WC in Belgium, so another country with a similar route would also be nice:
| | location | parcours | | winner | | 2014 |  | Ponferrada | hilly |  | Philippe Gilbert | | 2015 | | Huy | hilly | | Alberto Contador | | 2016 |  | Richmond | cobbles |  | John Degenkolb | | 2017 |  | Kirkenes | flat | | André Greipel | | 2018 |  | Villa Nueva | mountainous |  | Fabio Aru | | 2019 | | Firenze | hilly |  | Simon Yates |

isn't there an African race with some dirt roads not hard as Kigali is?

Well, I was about to comment on still being third in CT, but Tre Valle now sees us drop behind Equinor and I start to worry.

Dan was looking very attentive until he decided to not follow the obvious winning move. At least we got a top 10.

Nice to see Yates get a rare chance to show off the WC jersey with a win. Great result

WC route: I'm totally easy. We could even go for pancake flat and then we don't have to do that again for a few years. Maybe somewhere windy so we at least get the chance of some echelons.

I would be also for a flat classic, perhaps Luxembourg. As the number of cobbled riders is fairly limited and the races this year were rather lackluster it might be good to save the cbs race until we get some better racing in the classics.

Qatar maybe? If not cobbles we should at least get some echelons.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Plarre doesn't even beat the second best Equinor rider anymore, much less Zilioli...

Yates waking up in the final month of the year is nice Bucaramanga probably doesn't suit him the best.

Henao keeping us afloat with his top 10's. Could use some more minor scoring from Dumont and Aleman though.

Not great by Martin in his final stretch.

Moser needs to score big in the WT races which actually matter in the fight against relegation. Fourth in Milano - Torino nice but I'd much rather had that results in Bucaramanga.

7th is another solid result for Sagan. But Allianz is really attacking our podium position with that result!

Guess we are now safe of relegation, so we can start building for the next season.
Fantastic win by Kwiato
Also Battaglin 2 top tens is nice

Eh, Villella, what are you doing mate? 
20th is a terrible result for him, he needs to perform better at Lombardia. Puccio doing pretty well in 17th, but would have obviously hoped for a Top 5 here from Villella.
Anyway, thanks for the results Shonak!

I only did it Piccolo Lombardia but you're welcome 
Great and surprising result for VDP. Makes me all hyped for his development file, especially if he could end up in Top 20.

True, our boys were there too actually.
But as has been the case for the majority of the season, our U23 team didn't manage to achieve the highest positions there.
Thanks dominox too then for Bucaramanga.

Another 2nd for U23 Lewis Crawford.
Bardet not making the final selection in Bucaramanga is pretty disappointing, guess he was in the crash. Allianz with amazing depth!
Thanks for the reports chaps.
