Hello,
Still working on my story at PCM11 and also want to start a story on PCM12. Just bought it and did some racing with the game to get used to all the new stuff. But now I want to start a career and don't know which team I would take. I hope I can hear some suggestions from the crowd. From there out I am gonna choose a team. So If a lot of people say you should take United Health Care I will take that team.
Hope you can help me. By the way I use the PCM Daily DB V1 2013.
Greets,
Roel |

UHC would make cool story, especially with all the American races in the DB
Astana could be quite nice too. No team could ever make a bad story though, so its just do whatever you want to do. No point starting as a team cause other people will think its good, then stopping in the first few months of the season.

Manx has a valid point. In the end, you have got to go with the team that you feel best with 
Generally more people enjoy a small(er) team to start with, so that the team can grow and you don't win everything. So I'd suggest a (Pro-)Continental team or something  |

alright, you have all made a point, definately will chose a team from the Continental tour , not a Pro Conti or Pro Tour they are damn good...... Think I will chose a team like 3 or 2 star team in the Continental Tour!! |

I am doing a Team Type 1 story as you know and i moved the team in to the Continental tour and use it as a challenge to get in to the World Tour and ride the big races, so a Continental team would make a good story |

Yeah and i'm into a second season with Node4 (see The Hammarlings) slowly building up and taking on bigger challengers.
As long as its a team you want to use, and have a general idea of how you want to progress over a few seasons then you have a great chance at keeping a story going

 Cycling Team Jo Piels:
Cycling Team Jo Piels is been a Continental Team for quite a few years. But there is coming change to the team. The new team leader Roel Eijkman wants to take the team to a higher level. The Pro Continental or even better the Pro Tour. But to get to that goal his team needs to train hard. And improve every week. Roel has especially chose for Jo Piels because it is a young team with good riders. His intention? Make it a world class team!
Today he is gonna unveil his team. He has only one squad leader what is normal in such a small team. But he has plans to transfer another big rider and a young sprinter. Will he contract them. You will hear it on the next news flash of Jo Piels News.
Oh and by the way here is the team:
Leader
Tom Vermeer
 Tom is one of the few who can actually climb a little bit. He is gonna be the front men of my squad. With only 27 years he is the oldest rider of my team along with Frank Niewold.
Sprinter
Johim Ariesen
 Johim is a young rider who has a lot of potential on sprinting. In a few years when he is at his best he can sprint with the biggest favorites. With his 24 years he is a little bit to old to become the best sprinter in the peloton. But he can come far I promise you.
Time Trial
Jasper Hamelink
 Jasper is a young TT specialist and with his 22 years he has all the time to develop to a new World Champion Time Trial.
Full Squad:
Next up interviews with the new riders who I hope to sign. So join me next time,
Roel |

Hello All,
Today I am introducing two new riders to the team.
The first one is only 18 years old and one of my new sprinters. It is Caleb Ewan.
- Hee Caleb nice to have you here in the Netherlands. Do you like it here?
* Hello Roel, yes I like it here. Only a bit cold . And I am glad that you wanted to sign me.
- Yes you were one of my riders who I wanted because you are an addition to the team. With you I hope to get top 3 in sprints. And your lead out and opponent is gonna be Johim Ariesen.
* Oh well, I like it that I gonna have a lead out. But why is he my opponent anyway we work together right?
- Yes, but in the team your the two sprinters fighting for the honor.
* Oh that way, no didn't want to look at it that way. He is my sprint buddy no opponent.
- Alright if you like it that way.......... Anyway thanks for coming and will see you on the training tomorrow.
* Thanks Roel, and definitely will be there.
So you heard Caleb he is glad to be on the team and is looking forward to work together with Johim Ariesen.
My second signing is another leader and young talent, Alfredo Balloni.
- Hello Alfredo, glad you made it. Hope your gonna like it here in the Netherlands.
* Hello Roel, I am definitely glad that I made it and I look forward to our cooperation.
- Well that is nice, me too. Your gonna be one of the squad leaders of this year along with Tom Vermeer. Your happy about that?
* Of course I am happy to hear this. That I can be squad leader is awesome. And along with Tom Vermeer even better. He is a cyclist with experience and he can learn me stuff as squad leader.
- You are looking interested, and you can't wait to start training with your new team mates. Or am I wrong now?
* No your definitely not, can't wait to start tomorrow.
- Alright I will see you tomorrow at the first training with Jo Piels.
* See you tomorrow, bye.
Well you can see that I made two enormous good signings with Caleb and Alfredo. Will see you later this day with the race calender of Januari and the preparation of the New Zealand Cycle Classic.
