First off, a big thank you and congratulations to Dankan and everyone involved in the PCM Spain DB. In the short time I've played it, it's brought a whole new life to PCM 07.
When I play a career, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and like to develop the best young riders as soon as posible, to make them as good as they can be. Which are the best young riders on the PCM Spain DB?
Are the best talents the same as in Cya's default DB (e.g. Dekker, Boasson Haggen, etc.) or are there a few new talents hidden in there? 
P.S. How good is Cav? I know it's a bit of brit bias but I thought he was under rated in the original Cya DB!

With Hannes Editor you can easily see what the potential is for every rider. The higher, the better.
But yes, guys like Dekker and Haggen who were huge talents in the original DB are also huge talents in the PCM Spain DB. You will also find a lot of new riders who weren't present in the Cyanide DB in the PCM Spain DB. Some of them are definitely worth checking out too. |

Wow Boasson Hagen is even better in this DB, then again he is an 8 now. Is he really this good in rl?
Too bad his on a team in this DB tho, will have to pony up to buy him... |

The title should keep away people who don't want to look - quite frankly, people can look at potential with an editor anyway - this is just easier

well at the moment he is OK, but in the future everyone is tipping him to be awesome
same with Phinney, and Ulissi
i would like to say people are tipping Swift to be awesome, but no young brits bar Cav get any mention whatsoever
We have great youngsters, Dowsett, Swift, Stannard, Blythe (actually is going to be awesome, BBC Young Sportsman of the Year 2005/6), Kenny, etc.
there are loads, but hardly anyone has heard of them and so think they are crap

Oh I dont know about that, Swift is on the 'ProCycling' cover with Thomas and Cav this month. The other youngsters, you're dead right, I don't think many people know they exist
I suppose in a way thats good for British riders, staying out the limelight until they're ready...for the Olympics 2012 - at which point the funding of British cycling stops, like turning a light out! |

Oh well, I suppose 5 years of funding is still better than no funding!
Hopefully the young cyclists wont go off the rails like the LTA's young Wimbledon hopefulls! |
