Welcome to my latest and (maybe) greatest idea yet. Okay so I doubt it, but I'm bored out of my mind right now and want to get back to cycling with the start of the new season.
So I'm going to start with a new idea for a story (at least new to me). I'll be using the Bontrager Cycling Team from the PCM.Daily 2013DB (*Evolution of Attributes @ ~.3-~.4). I'll be playing the team in full (unlike some of my other attempted stories), but will have some limits on what I can and cannot do. So here are the basic rules.
1. It's a U23 team, no riders over 23 (cycling age).
2. Game will be played on Hard difficulty.
3. No using of training camps.
Other notes.
The team will always be mostly US, though the rest of the world isn't off-limits.
I'm not restricted from signing riders off of other teams so long as they are U23.
Team size will stay ~16 riders.

Welcome
Greetings from the Bontager Cycling Team staff. Our team focus's on one main mission, developing young riders for strong futures in cycling. With our team we give them the tools they need to succeed at the higher levels of professional cycling.
Our focus starts in our home country of the United States, but we are certainly not limited to just working with US talent and will strive to add diversity to the team, expanding the experience of our riders to a similar level as many of the UCI World Tour teams regarding cultural diversity.

I can use some help, and comments, please if you can think of something you want to see or something you don't like, let me know. I've got a general plan of how I want to display results, but it's not set in stone, and if you want more or less I can change it.

I just can't resign him anymore. I'll add him to the historic riders part and will keep track of where he goes from that point. Cattaneo will be the first that happens to in a few seasons. We still got a bit before that happens.

Okay, so for people trying to read from the start, I started with 2012 season and got going before deciding to hold up for the 2013 DB. So a few of the comments will seem out of place as they were directed at the first run of this (Which had the team in the New Zealand Cycle Classic early.)

This was probably a place I had a race result of some sort before, now it is going to be blank (well aside from this text).
