Orica-GreenEdge Development Team
Database PCM.Daily 2013 Database V1
Race Difficulty: Normal (I might switch to hard, if this proves to be too easy)
Development of Attributes: 0.5
In August 2012 Orica-GreenEdge had already seen they would have enough both financial and sportive space for a development team. The directors immediately went looking for a sponsor, starting internal. Of these sponsors only one major sponsor could be found. They already delivered the bikes and now also sponsor the new development team. This sponsor is Scott:
It was however clear they couldn’t pay everything. The directors couldn’t find any sponsor that already sponsored the big team. Tissot however declared they were prepared to invest in the cycling, to help building both their own reputation and the reputation of cycling. Tissot will fulfil the financial picture, filled with some minor sponsors.
The minor sponsors are Subaru, Orica, GreenEdge and Santini SMS
The shirt will look like this:
NCs:
Australia
The Netherlands
Switzerland
Credits for the shirts go to hans_kristian.
We will ride with the same equipment as Orica Green-Edge.
Now everything else is clear, the name of the team had to be unveiled. It will be:
Scott-Tissot Development Team for Orica-GreenEdge.
Most of the time this will however come down to Scott-Tissot and the pleasure of being director of this team has been given to me!
We hope to announce the first riders very soon!
If there is anything I forgot, please tell

@Ian Butler & sutty68: Thanks!
Welcome to the announcement of the first six riders
The first rider to join our team is:
Aaron Donnelly 
This 21-year-old Australian-born rider is specialized in the time trial and is a strong addition in a sprint train.
Scott Law 
Just like Donnelly he is 21 years old. He is very useful in the time trial and the sprint train and his own sprint finish isn’t bad either.
Adam Phelan 
Adam is just like the other two 21 year old. He is probably our best GC contender as he has a strong climb and time trial. He can also do the shorter mountains.
Thomas Palmer 
At the age of 22 he is one of the oldest riders in the team. Thomas can do some sprints and time trials, but will mostly be used as a helper.
Mitchell Lovelock-Fay 
This 20-year-old rider is a very useful at almost everything. He is good at mountains, shorter hills, time trials and can be good in the sprint train.
Joshua Prete
He is the last rider we will present today. He is 21 years old and a decent sprinter. He is however a very good helper as well.
Thanks for your attention, we will soon continue with 6 more riders.

Not necessarily the strongest team now, but imagine what it'll be like in a few years |

@Pinktray
The best is yet to come
@Everyone
The main goal is to reach Orica-GreenEdge, not to grow to WorldTour

Welcome to the announcement of the next six riders
Our next rider to join is:
Alastair Loutit
Alastair is one of the 22-year-old riders in the team, and our seventh Aussie. He is best at sprints and time trials. Mountains however will be tough.
Derk Abel Beckeringh
Since there are some Dutchmen at Orica (with success), some young Dutchmen were invited to Scott. He is the first. This 20-year-old rider can be used for sprints and time trials.
Ben Grenda
Ben is 22 years old and will be one of the team leaders for the first season. His specialty is the mass sprint, in which he will have some potential.
Damien Howson
Damien is just 20 years old, and already one of the better time trialists of Australia. For that reason, he is also very useful in a sprint train.
Jordan Kerby
Jordan is like Damien and Derk 20 years old. He is a good time trialist, but he is a great helper as he is really good on the flat roads.
Dylan Groenewegen
Dylan isn’t even 20 years old yet, but already our best rider. Previous season he rode for Jo Piels, and for this season he had to choose between De Rijke and us. He is a great sprinter, but also useful on the shorter mountains.
We will see you soon, with the presentation of the last six riders.
BTW: This will probably be the last time I post twice per day due to school etc.

Welcome to the announcement of the final six riders
The first of these riders:
Michael Freiberg
Michael is 22 years old and will be a good helper in the future, as he is a good time trialist and sprinter.
Calvin Watson
Calvin is 19 years old, and will already be one of our team leaders. He is very strong at the hills and his finish can help him as well.
Patrick Lane
Patrick is 21 years old. He is most likely to be a helper for Calvin in the hills. We might also see him in a early breakaway.
Caleb Ewan
Caleb is at the age of just 18 one of the youngest members of the squad. He will be great for sprint finishes, now, but even more in the future.
Simon Pellaud
Simon is 20 years old, yet very experienced. Tissot also wanted Swiss riders, and he is good at hills and mass sprints.
Lukas Spengler (No suitable picture available. If anyone has a 64x64, please send it)
Lukas is together with Caleb the youngest member of our team. He will be used for hills, mass sprints and early breakaways. He is the only other Swiss
This was the announcement of our team. We hope you enjoyed it. If you want any more info about the riders, check the full squad with stats.
Spoiler 
BTW Sorry everything is Dutch, if you need translation, just ask in this thread

That's a nice team, at least sprinting wise.
I'm not sure about all of them, but you've got a few guys who possibly have a lot of progress potential.
Climbing might be a small issue for the team though, but there are plenty flat 2.2 races...
Spoiler It's good for the story that I made a suggestion in the stats discussion about upping Groenewegen's stats, and that Alakagom listened to it

These sponsor goals won't be easy, especially winning the New Zealand Cycle Classic will be hard. Still, it's a nice race to start the season.(except the NC's of course)
Wonder how the team handles Qatar. I fear it won't be easy
