Hello,
My name is Ladin Livshits. As above i am a 20 year old Russian cyclist. I recently signed to join the new U23 Russian Cycling Project, Gosloto-AvtoVAZ. I don't know all the riders in the team, some of them are yet to be confirmed, but my best friend Christian Malev has been signed.
Again a brief history of me is written above and i hope that gives you an idea of what i'm like. I will say this, i've had a tough life so far and i channel this into my cycling. I never say enough and will ride at my limit and beyond all day to win.
I admit freely that tactically i am lacking, but hopefully over the next years i can improve that.
I have been scheduled for an interview at the start of the new year. This is your chance to ask any questions to me. I hope you can come up with some.
The interview will go take place in January 2012 so there is some time first.
I will also blog in January about the upcoming season.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear, are we voting on some pre-set storylines that we know or are we just voting like headless chickens without knowing what it is we are voting for?
