[Name]Alexander Ulrik
[Nationality] DEN
[DOB] 08 Aug. 88
[Speciality] HIlls/sprint
[Description of the rider] Alexander is the official son of Zutcorp, and really born in 01, but his father is adamant he could be a pro rider already so he has falsified his papes. Alexander excels at riding mooncars at kindergarden, and his sprint is most excellent. He also likes to climb monkeybars on the playground and as such his legs are perfectly suited for hill races. He will also be the only rider who will be using supportwheels because of his inablity to ride a real bike :-D

[Name]Patrick McQuaid
[Nationality] IRL
[DOB] 1.4.1990
[Speciality] MO and TT
[Description of the rider] Pat McQuaid is an all round wise guy and apparently a fantastic mountain climber winning the Tour de France. He often gets involved in arguments between the ASO however. McQuaid would make a great asset to the team as they probally couldn't get caught for doping... Well having the UCI boss on your side is quite a good chance isn't it.

Good one right there.
I haven't got the idea of this right, can you take just real people/riders or imaginary too?

We're looking for more imaginary, but it's entirely up to you

[Name] Jack Bauer
[Nationality] The United States of America
[DOB] 18. Febrary 1990
[Specialisation] Fast as a bullet, typical sprinter. Good in Resistance and Recovery too.
[Description of the rider] After high school, took Jack the Master of Science in Criminology and Law and then to the US Army.
After some time, he was asked to join the "Delta Force" and later the "Coral Snake". After some time in the CIA, he ended up in CTU.
Jack felt sorry for that so many people has died or been mentally ill because of him that he began on a new career in cycling.

[Name] Jorge Busch
[Nationality] - USA
[DOB] 09-11-1990
[Speciality] Fighter
[Description of the rider] Jorge attacks in every race all the time, often angering the peloton and his own team alike with his lengthy and useless attacks. Jorge is accused of being an idiot by teammates, and once asked in all seriousness how to spell BMC. However, his personal trainer, Carl Rov, always defends him and accuses any detractors of helping the other teams by criticising Jorge. Carl says history will vindicate his methods and Jorge's reputation.

I don't wanna be an idea spoiler, but I think this is too freaky.
I understand that realism isn't the key to this Game after all?
Obviously I'm the only one to find these riders bizarre rather than fun.
Busch, Bauer, McQuaid and Bart Simpson as the best riders for the 2015 WC?
Well, it's your invention, Crommy, but I think it will eventually kill the Game. |

What do you others think? SN, Addy, Smoothie?
I see the "simulated realism" as the best part of this Game.
As such, I think it's a shame to let this idea live. |

I like the idea of having real neopros, like the the ones I posted: Kennaugh, Rowe, Blythe and also Taylor Phinney. Im not too sure about the novelty aspect of this though.

i think the neo-pro's are an ok idea, but i think they should have proper names, not like Bart Simpson.
maybe they should even be real young people like Blythe, who will be very good one day, or made up but still with a slightly realistic name like the guy i made up
neo-pro's should be part of the game as they are in real-life, but maybe just tone down the excentricness of the names a bit, or have real neo-pro's

The real neopros aren't the one I aim my words at, neither.
Their stats should be under heavy control, but I think they could be a nice add.
What I don't see as funny or a nice addition to the Game is the invented riders. |

i agree there has to be a new set of youngsters coming in every year to keep the game continuing, but they should be real, ill tell you the ones i know, and i change they year so they are slightly younger 
[Name] Frederik Ludvigsson
[Nationality] SWE (sweden)
[DOB] 5/5/88
[Speciality] Sprinter
[Description of the rider] A great upcoming rider, has only raced as an amatuer so far but will soon become a great superstar for years to come. Would be a great addition to any team with a strong line of sprinters.
[Name] Nicolas Brolin
[Nationality] SWE (sweden)
[DOB] 20/6/87
[Speciality] Climber
[Description of the rider] A great up and coming climber. Like Ludvigsson he has only raced amatuer so far in his career, picking up many victories. Many swedes like to campare him with a young cadel Evens
[Name] Kim Mikkelsson
[Nationality] LUX (luxembourg)
[DOB] 11/6/86
[Speciality] Stage racer
[Description of the rider] A great leader, head of his former team and beat everyone while on tour at jersey even me . a great rider for the future, maybe with Accumilax

The invented riders should really be realistic - it was just inventing realistic names for different countries is something I'm rubbish at - the funny ones are great to read, but probably won't be included in the game
