Scenario 1: WWF-PUMA
Famous sports brand PUMA has sponsored football, golf and athletics, but it's been a long time since they've been a major player in cycling. This is the moment to change this.

ESP - Sebastián Mora (mora is night butterfly here in slovakia - mora gama = silver Y in english)
Is Fabio Felline somehow related to cats? i cant speak italian ...
finally
HNK - Ching Ying Mow - but he is realted to nothing but my avatar ...
and what about oscar gatto (as a cat ) ? (but he has too many "t" in name)
Vlama, you're a true hero. Both your replies have got the perfect diversity for me to choose from. Love it!

"What an initiative you're starting! Shame about the timing, really. I've lobbied my colleagues incessantly, but it's just that we've had a renaming this year, and all our focus will be on that process. Let's keep in touch though, there's always next year. Shake hands?"

"Now we have explained our mission with this team, let me introduce you to our co-sponsor. They are committed to our project. Surely, they will have their commercial interests, but I laude their past efforts in decreasing CO2 emissions by getting the civilians of the country we are in now out of their cars. Behind me you will see our new shirt, and with that, our fellow sponsor.

you are welcome, unfortunatelly i cant say a word in french, german, italian, chinese and hundreds of other languages so most of them are still hiding to me.
and quality is also questionable, especially Slovaks are weak
I posted you 3 exact animal name within slovak riders an we have only one (poor) continental team. I believe there have to be dozens of animals in countries with bigger base (ITA,FRA,ESP,NED,BEL,CHI,...)
Dont know which DB you are goign to use, you wont find any slovak in oficial one. there are few in pcmdaily DBs, and Haring, Vysna, Schwabik were also in man managemet DB here, but i guess most of them you will have to greate yourself. But they are real, you can find photos and everything.
I focused on animals, cause you ask for them. I made only one exception for Koren, because he is really good rider and every project/tree need some good roots (especially when you are planning to plant woods )
there are hundreds of plantlike or naturelike surnames out there ...
iim not goign through it again and remember only
UKR Oleksandr Polivoda "field water"
and Josh (AUS) and Joshua (USA) Berry
*just for fun - according to PCS there is at least 20 (english) winters out there (Ludwig De Winter (BEL), Laurin Winter (GER), Lukas Winter(AUT), ...)
Wow, i forgot to post any czech rider ... that must be fixed:
Jan Ryba (Fish)
Petr Fiala (Viola, heart's ease)
edit: Does Hayman mean something proper in english? or its "man of hay" like Kwiatkowski is "man of flowers"? In that case matthew would proly love to join your project too
I'm looking for professional slovak team. Haven't you seen any?

Philipp "Worm" Wurm AUT
David "Moth" Motte BEL - just found out that slovak Mora is german Motte and english Moth ... that was just fast german dictionary look up

How? ... how could i forgot my favourite young sprinter of PCM2012 Jan "Falcon" Sokol AUT, but no idea what he is doing in season 2017, if still active or in regional/club level
... another try with browsing actual ranking, but have energy only for fist 500
Gianni "blowfly" Moscon ITA
Ryan "pair (or more) of gibbon" Gibbons RSA
Merhawi "pair (or more) of kudu" Kudus ERI
Michael "swarm" Schar SUI

Wow. I was just going to present my team, but after this, I need to make some changes.....
Vos is fox in dutch by the way, so Adam is doubly selectable!

Anon.: "Hello? I saw your project. How's your budget? What about I double your budget for you?
Directeur Sportive: "..."
A.: "Yeah, listen, this might sound sudden. I work for a big, worldwide media producer,
that mostly makes nature documentaries and the like. The company has a proven heart for cycling, so it would fit right in with your team. It's got connections in the world of cycling, and there's some great former cyclists who could help out your staff...

A.: "My name? Err.... It's ... . Larry. I'm Larry. Larry eh.. Stronglegs. That's it."

But look, now you have bigger db with animals, you have lots of options.
You can create acceptable (not great but biting/yelling/clawing/kicking...) all-around WT animals only team.
You won't have problems with aging of your riders, because you will know where you can find some intakes. Also you can create own U23 team for your lambs and wolfpuppies and i'm sure some native speakers will boost your db in future after start of your story.
And i guessed that you definitely would love to see some african monkeys and antelopes in your squad (they are suitable and cute enough to become also mascots )
Now you can be real world wide team with lots of countries on almost all continents (you have riders from north america, south america, europe, australia, and now also africa) ... only problem is asia ofc.
I can use google or any online vocabulary to translate some words/animals to italian or german, but japanese? or chinese? that's much harder nut
I found some picture vocabulary referencing CHE as spider and FANG as rat, but there were also reference in the same book with completely different symbols to the very same CHE as something completely different in translation (side note: i know my english hurts sometimes )
so if you want some representative of asia and you are not ok with russian Ovechkin as the person, you will probably have to use some
random chinese SUN (eg Xiaolong Sun) "as source of energy for every being in this world"
or random korean PARK (eg Sung Baek Park) "as small ecosystem built in every city to remind ppl their natural core, belonging and responsibilities/duties"
or that honkonger Mow i already posted as "to mow"(like cat) or "to mow" lawn (like to reap)
"How long?
Not long!
Cause what you reap
is what you sow." --Rage against the machine
Can't wait to see full team.
