First. Thanks to managers, who sent me their votes.
In the final round it was close but we have a winner. With 19 to 16 votes the decision is :
GERMANY
So the 2013 Man Game World Championships will take place in Stuttgart.
The Elite Road Race is a hilly circuit with 4 laps, which adds up to 260km.
The finish with a short uphill could make it very interesting.
The time trial with 56km is long and despite of some uphill sections should be perfect for the power horses, the real time trialists.
It`s the same course as the Team Time Trial.
Two laps less for the U23 riders. Still very tough and lots of climbing.
Also the U23 time trial is shorter but pretty similar.

@LLS - Same here. Not sure how WC for MG works, but if I become a selector for South Africa, I think it's a good course for Daryl Impey.

Ehm... There is 1 route on which my team would send 2 captains for 2 countries... And a handful of decent helpers so an obvious choice for me...

I'd go for one of the two hill top finishes in USA or Poland personally.

Japan would be a nice race surely. For once a totally flat WC race, why not...

Sounds like a flat WC may be a decent chance after all!

Chose Poland, would be cool to see an uphill finish at the Worlds for once. Otherwise Japan looks like a good option, gives the sprinters a chance of a rainbow jersey. |

Thanks for all your votes so far.
I already got 21 votes last night, which is a good start I think.
Keep the votes coming. Still everything possible.
(And keep in mind that posting here only won`t count as a vote, I need a PM as I won`t check every post here and compare it with my PM folder)

I have a feeling Rin will be the only one choosing Italy

A flat WC would be epic. Imagine Lo Cicero, Napolitano, Cavendish and Vantomme as leadouts.  |

Well I would prefer any flat/downhill finish to any uphill finish at a WC race.
Allows for a WC that more riders have a chance to win as the chance for surprise winners are higher.
Something that a uphill finish normally doesn't allow as that normally leads into an elemination race.
So that means 3 are falling out (Germany, Poland and USA) and 3 are still in contention (Spain, Italy and Japan) for what I could have voted
EDIT: If all of them would have flat finishes I would have voted for Poland.

Guess Lo Cicero is the only one of my riders that are closest to getting any impact in this race. The rest of my riders are either not even close to being selected, or from an obscure country that never is going to race here or simply shit.
- Meaning I chose Japan, even though the bumps concerns me a lot |

Hah, actually I'm not even sure I want that
Of course I'd love to have a WC, but if it means his wage goes higher than I planned...a WC jersey doesn't give stat boosts after all
Gotta think about it for a bit longer.
If not Japan, Stuttgart looks good with that uphill finish even though I hate the city
