The Comeback
lluuiiggii
Yey, done it! Finally took the time to read it over from the beginning. But unlike muttisr, it were 3 nights, doing it in 1 night must be crazy Pfft

First of all, (late) congrats for the awards. Much deserved Smile Now, like muttisr, I have a few comments from things long-gone, I'll keep it short though Pfft
Spoiler
1. You were thinking in 500 DoS from the start weren't you :lol:

She is reluctant to call me her boyfriend but it will happen eventually. (S5E8)

"Your the one that didn't want to use labels." (S6E7)

Or it's a very big coincidence, but I doubt it Pfft S11, btw, was really good. Might be my favorite one Smile (and, tbh, depending on where this is going it might justify the 'Comeback' much more than the crash imo)

2. BBLover is so classic. At some points, when everybody is supporting Travis' decisions, or hoping for the future, he has no fear at all to speak out his mind :lol: Can't see how he wasn't nominated for funniest member after some posts here:

3. I swear the Encino Velodrome looked different back in (2008?). They must have been reforming it a lot Pfft

4. If Rui Costa wins in the Olympics, vou pessoalmente cumprimentar ele em português (mentira, era só pra você ter que traduzir isso)

5. Lastly, a question: for how much was the Schwinn auctioned? Or will we know that in the future? Because since S1 I'm curious as to why the bike is worth so much Pfft

Now to the present: people, there's a hidden team with blue jersey among the PCT ones. How come you think Livestrong is Travis' next stop Pfft That said, nice to see the Livestrong sponsor out there, I think they have cool graphics (and I swear I'm not saying that because I happened to have done the accessories Pfft) Several other great packs popping up, ExxonMobil, Target, Avia... the peloton should look nice Smile

Btw, here's what I think Travis should do:
Spoiler
write a tell-all book, have an interview with Oprah saying how it was a stupid mistake and apologizing to people, come back Millar-esque with a firm anti-doping stance, start riding for Garmin (they'll re-replace Nike), win a GT stage celebrating by raising your bike just after the line (and crying in the post-stage interviews), do a long interview naming people whom he finds suspicious, have a fight with those people on the media, try to breakaway on a GT and get personally chased back by those people, retire from cycling, start working as a sports teacher, do a long interview for CyclingNews about how much still needs to be done in the sport, and finally be involved with cycling again in the "Froome & Sky & co Reasoned Decision" (since at some point he was close to Henao, who rode for Froome). By this time, assuming you could keep stalling as much as you did when there was no DB to keep the story going in S3, Joseph will already be old enough for us to follow his junior career on cycling on his way to winning the 2033 TdF and thus becoming the youngest rider to ever do so.

If that doesn't get 2014 story of the year, I don't know what will. I hope I'll be mentioned on the acceptance speech Pfft

On a more seriousn note, the book part could be real (specially seeing as he's such a good writer Wink). In a way, I sort of imagine something like that with the TV thing, a documentary or something about how he'll show the world his true talent. But it's enough of guessing for me, I'll just wait for S14. As always, keep up the great writing Smile

I think you should forget about the team Travis has lined up, go Continental, and sign for Accumalux instead Wink Pfft

All: Photobucket hates me... Click here for more info on that.

BBL: Blame Cyanide (or me) if not sure who made that transfer but in all fairness it's still rather realistic.

cio93: German powerhouse. Degenkolb and Kittel will make for one heck of a sprint train.

welker3257: I told you something was still missing. Everything about Travis will be revealed in S14E1.

The Hobbit: Wrong Pfft

SSJ2Luigi: Mistake fixed. So much typing it was bound I was going to make a few mistakes. Also it's 2017 I can do whatever I want, if Skil in the PT and Lampre in PCT I can. Pfft And one of Travis' teammates should be easy to guess, but the other I don't think anyone will get.

nejc: Best team in the CT by far. Thanks for stopping in. Wink

Jesleyh: Yes, yes it did. And yes, yes I did. Fixed. :lol:

lluuiiggii: Where do I even start. Shock Thanks for taking the time to read everything for start to finish. That's quite impressive.

1. I actually wasn't thing about 500 DoS... just a big coincidence. Cool
2. Yep, I've put up with a lot of BBL. Fits right into his latest installment of training Travis on cobbles.
3. Um, renovation? 5 years is a long time... so yeah I'm going with that.
4. (Maldito seas lo traduje).
5. Use your imagination. It might come up later, but who knows.

Lots of cool graphics and I have also replaced a few of the jerseys of the "long-term" teams that have IRL 2014 jerseys available. Although we will hardly see them because Travis is in the PCT.

Your guess is rather close but my original plan is tweaked just a little bit on almost ever point you brought up. As you will see in S14E1.

SportingNonsense: That's what got you to comment here? It took Accumalux! I've been trying for years to get a comment from SN on my stories, and all it took was Accumalux! :lol: Go figure. Pfft

I understand it is a realistic transfer I'm just disappointed.

Anyway, I just say what I think is right at the time.

I just want Travis to be able to hold on the cobbles if there is a Tour stage or something. He's no Boonen or Cancellara I just want him to be able to hold his own if it comes to that, like someone such as Hesjedal. Mid 60s or so.

Also, he's always been and all rounder to me, and that was the only stat that was lacking.


RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy

This episode is brought to you by...


So sorry, but my new team grabbed sponsorship rights to my blog for Season 14
when I signed their contract. I needed a job, so how could I say no?
All of this will make more sense in a few seconds.

Say hello to my new home for the 2017 season...

Fox Pro Cycling

i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac189/Mresuperstar/The%20Comeback%20S14E1/x-fox_maillot.png

Your probably really confused. Let me explain how this all came to be.

Remember that TV producer that offered me a spot on his writing staff.
The guy I turned down because I wanted to focus on cycling.

Well, it turns out he wasn't just interested in me.
Chloe also caught his attention while he was reading my award winning blog.
And he offered her a lead role in a pilot he was shooting called "New Girl."

I couldn't believe it, I even told him she had no acting experience.
But he said it didn't matter. They could teach her, she was perfect for the role.

(After seeing the promo above I couldn't agree more, she killed that.)

While I'm extremely happy for Chloe, what's in this for me?

That turns out to be a cycling team!

Fox wanted a publicity stunt to promote their new show.
What a better way to do that then to fund a new cycling with the most infamous doper in United States right now who was once married to their lead actress.

That's just brilliant marketing.

Ok, but New Girl came out roughly 5 years ago now... That's quite a significant alteration to the world... (i have briefly, in my head plotted the line of changes that would make this possible)

@Jesleyh & 547984: The jersey looks great in-game as you will get to see a bit later. Also their maybe a secondary jersey made by aidanvn13 on it's way as well.

@welker3257 & Miguel98 S14E2. Wink

@TheManxMissile: IRL it came out in 2011, in my story it's coming out in 2016/17. So yes, it's an altercation to the world. But if your going to make a fuss over that then I'm surprised your still reading after all the "unrealistic" things that have happened to get to this point.

My story, so I can make and break the rules. Pfft

Is using the old Trek logo in the jersey also breaking the rules? Pfft Sorry, it just bugs me a bit everytime I see it being used over the new one.

Like Jesleyh and numbers, I didn't see it coming like that. Curious to see the rest of the team, having been created around the image of Travis I doubt he'll be just a water-carrier, but then again the team seems to be strong enough to have secured PCT... (unless the team name is Novo Nordisk Pfft)

A nice episode there Mre. Great writing Smile

This episode is brought to you by...



New Girl's premier was a smash hit!

Fox has already purchased a full 24 episodes for the first season.
They couldn't have asked for better rating! I'm so proud of Chloe.

But back to my side of the business, the cycling program.

I'm proud to announce the 2017 Fox Pro Cycling Team!

Meet the Team

i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac189/Mresuperstar/The%20Comeback%20S14E2/Squad.jpg

Because I'm the main reason Fox is funding this operation,
I got to help in choosing my teammates for the team. Well I say choosing...

Most of the guys we had to convince a lot to come here.
I don't have the best reputation but this PCT team offered
a great opportunity for the American cyclists that decided to join the team.

However, I did have some connections to get guys on this team.

Joshua Berry>>>>>2014 Desigual Teammate
Mac Brennan>>>>>2013 Bissell Teammate
Robert Bush>>>>>2014 Desigual Teammate
Thomas Wrona>>>>>2016 Olympic Qualifying Track

So, a few friendly faces. But many of the guys came over for a new opportunity.

Regardless, here is the complete 21 man roster in alphabetically order.
