It was almost time. Evaluation day was tomorrow, and everything was riding on tomorrow. It was all about cycling now. Nothing else mattered, and John knew it deeply. He turned over for rest, and slept until the next morning. 0500. The alarm clock blared, and he jumped out of bed, suiting up fast as light. It was go time. He went down to the meeting place, where his new bike awaited him, along with generic biking gear, more suited to his new profession. Actually getting suited now, he hopped on the sleek new saddle, and warmed up. Finally, his name was called for the evaluation. 3. 2. 1. And he set off, giving as much sped as he could in to the opening sprint, his first test. Then, he was off to the nearby cobblestone setup, and he raced across them without falling. Then the mountain, then the hills test. It was hard work, but his final test was upon him. A one hour stretch on the warm up rollers. He knew he had to gauge his energy, but how much? What bursts should he give? He didn't know, but he went. Went faster than he had ever gone before. This was his dream. His passion. And little to his knowledge, his father's passion as well. After he was finished, he went back to his snazzy team motel room, and waited to hear the results. It took hours. The team collectively wouldn't speak, and sat in silence, waiting for the evaluation slips to see how they could be expected to be placed in the roster. Finally, the slips came. John broke the seal, and grabbed the report.

The only one that matters is the potential.

B+ isn't that bad, but it gives you something to aim for now in getting the A+  |

The day had come. All the contracts were signed, and the roster was finished.
A small team, but it was something. Of course the sponsor was undecided, but there were a few negotiations going on. Time to go, came the call from Tom Jones. And with that, the team gazed upon a brand new bus, unlike anything the team had ever seen before, being amateur riders, or in John's case, unknown start-ups. John was called to the side for a moment before the team headed off to what Tom called "another surprise". "Are you sure you're ready for this? It's only been a couple months since you first saddled up." To which John replied, "I was born ready. It runs through my blood, I can feel it." And the bus, was off.

I think John actually is quite decent, he should get a few cracks on the team.

After seventeen hours on the bus, the team finally arrived at their destination. Breckenridge, Colorado, home of the new cycling centre just for team 7-Eleven Cycling! A gasp and awed exhale came from deep within John's torso. He knew he had made something of himself. He was going to be the best. The best, around, and nothing was ever gonna bring him down!

That's quite a distance to ride in 1 hour being an unsatisfactory time trialist  |

It was time for the team sponsor to be revealed. Everyone gathered in the well-sized conference room, and got ready for the announcement. The members of the conference talked about the goals, the future of the team, blah blah blah, and then finally, it was the announcement. "The sponsor for the team this year will be--"
7-Eleven! Welcome, to the newest American powerhouse, 7-Eleven Cycling!

After the official announcements, John was called aside by Tom Jones again. "I'm sorry, but the administration doesn't approve of your contract. You're going to have to stay with a one-year deal." John was OK with this, though slightly confused. Whatever the issue was, he didn't care. He was happy to be here. Tom also handed him his final statistic evaluation sheet.
And on that note, the season turned to January. Time to start cycling.

Looks like a nice puncher but he's gonna have to work on that acceleration
