The ManGame World Championships are slowly approaching, so it is time to decide where they will be held.
This first vote will decide whether the race has a Flat or Mountainous profile. There's never been a flat-rated non-cobbled ManGame World Championship, while the only Mountain WC was in 2010. (Note that the ITT for a Mountain TT may not be as mountainous as the road race, to ensure that the TT stat is still important in deciding the winner)
This vote will be open for a few days.
Part 2 of the vote will contain the location choice, based on the winning type.

In my opinion a non-totally-flat-course would be ideal.

Voted for flat, because the sprinters deserve a go.

Considering the amount of sprinters in my team, my choice was obvious

While a mountain one would be more exciting I think it is time for the sprinters to have a go  One season to early for Zabel.... (Not that he would be leader for Germany anyway...)

It feels as if flat is going to win, despite some comments wishing for a mountain race. But I will put a comment here as to why a flat choice was an easy winner for me.
I would imagine a mountain race may be a slightly more interesting race for seven or eight managers who have top climber - but actually a flat sprint may well involves many more riders. This is my mind is more fun for the managers involved.
Selfishly I could wish for a mountain race - but why the best mountain climbers will battle in GP Liehctenstien and the WC would just be a clone. Meanwhile a flat WC would be more unique as it would gather the massive wealth of sprinting talent form the CTour together with the strong but not deep pool of sprinters in the PT.
Also team selection for a flat WC is probably far more important - the top sprinters will need a great lead out train and selectors will have to think carefully about that. Even those 2nd tier sprinters will need a good wingman. And of course flat attackers can have a chance too.

I agree with Smowz, will be better tension for more managers fighting for podium potential if flat. Doesn't mean should be every year, but from what SN outlines in the intro, only fair to give the sprinters a go every 3 or 4 seasons so that each 'generation' gets an opportunity.

Voted for flat here, but hope for at least several speedbumps on the course
