Since this is but one in an incredibly wild bunch of new stories due to the release of the PCM Spain, I've decided to do a one rider story as my amount of posts (or work) will never conclude to the likes of Mukk or Andy.
So, my simple questione for ye lads:
Who?
I won't mention anyone myself, so please - bid away!
I'd love a real talented youth, but - could be anyone! |

or perhaps one of the rabobank espoirs boys like van dulmen, vandevelde or boom. Or if your looking for someone more established then Thomas Dekker or Andy Schleck

Mark Cavendish 
Or Marcus Burghardt?
Luis Leon Sanchez?
Michail Ignatiev?
Janez Brajkovic?
Matti Breschel?
Those are my suggestions.

I like the sound of Cav, but I don't know much about him...
So it won't be a "in his early days, Cav was selected for the..." kind of story.
But it won't be that anyway, I suppose
Dekker and Cavendish are taken into consideration
Btw: What difficulty should it be played on?
I've always played on "hard" but I think the difficulty has been increased in the new PCM - thus you cannot win ANYTHING with riders that are not 100% fit and so on.
It has become much harder to "over-achieve".
EDIT: Other riders?

I dunno, Smoothie... I was lookin' for someone with Dekker / Pipo / Cav potential.
Youth but well-established... Any advice? |

I think I'll take him from a real team...
Why?
What do you think about Pozzato, by the way?
I like the races he'll be able to compete in, and I like Pipo. |

if you looking at good young riders, how about Ricco or Luis Leon Sanchez (i think he was mentioned already though)

Maybe Ricco...
Pozzato, Ricco, Dekker, Soler and Cavendish into consideration.
Wouldn't Pozzato be a fun-to-watch?
And what about difficulty? |

What about Gusev? Is he too much of a stereotype? |

What I meant was: I don't want to make the rider too much of a character and let him act out.
No, I'll consider Gusev as well. I like the fella VERY much (Ferrari, Ferrari / P-N, P-N).
If it wasn't for his MO < 70 - DANKAN!!! |
