Great to see the EXP points used up already, just the 2 Form points left.

1 Downhill will be added to Newton's stats just for the next race day as there was still 2 Form bonuses left (well now 1). So not to late but it's a minimum gain for one day.

1 to stamina for next race, given your aiming to get in shape and no doubt will get tired pretty quick the extra stamina may help each race!

This is something really new. If this last really long, I'll see here the big candidate for one rider story of the year.

I am shocked that no one else has mentioned flat. 57 flat will allow you to do nothing in the pro peloton or even amateur.

I've always said you were the most creative writer on this site, with all of your out of the box ideas.
Great job!

Just so you know I have been following, too bad I was late but I agree with Baseball and Jesleyh, Travis needs to be at least decent on the flat to compete.

EXP Points - Stamina, Flat, Hill / Form Points - Sprint, Downhill
@baseballlover312 and Jesleyh: You will have 7 more races to influences Travis' stats before he tries out for Bissell again.
@valverde321: Thanks, but it really was just a clever way to make the readers decide how he will develop so they can't blame me for which direction I would have taken him.  Because I really didn't know myself how I would train him, but now it's out of my hands.
@alex-sonic: Great another new reader, I hope the first post helped you get through all the episodes in a timely fashion. A TV show would be awesome, but I pretty sure it wouldn't get enough viewers to get past the first season. Here I can go as long as I want because I'm the only one that can cancel my show.
No report today as I'm going to be rather busy.

Okay, seems fine
Guys, maybe we could make his TT better as well. FL stat doesn't have any influences on TTs

I got a 2nd in my first race back so let's try and go one better here in April.
The course is one time up Mt. Baldy followed by 120kms of flat roads
before going halfway up Baldy for the finish.
--- *** --- *** --- *** ---
With a $500 cash prize for the first rider over Mt. Baldy to start the day,
I couldn't help myself, so I was back in the morning breakaway.
Joined by 4 other riders looking to put some extra cash in their pockets.
Even though I'm not very good at going over mountains yet,
I was clearly the best in the group and took control of the pace.
During the long climb we all came to an agreement to split the money at the top.
I took $350 for leading the group up the climb, and shared the rest.
I probably could have beat them but I wanted the breakaway to continue
working as a group after the climb was over because I wanted to win.
And we did just that and by the time we reached 10kms to go we had a
slim 1'30" lead over the peloton, it was everybody for themselves.
5kms to go and the peloton can't seem to close the gap.
We actually might make it to the end.
3kms to go and I still have energy left in the tank, so I go for it!
And I get a gap! Don't look back... don't look back... keep pushing...
There is the banner.
But they are coming. I'm trying not to look over my shoulder but I can't help it.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Another 2nd. Way more heartbreaking then my first race. I can't believe it.
 A tough way to lose but it's a learning experience, and my form right now is almost perfect after taking 2 straight second places even though it's against amateurs.
I'm looking to enter a lengthy time trial for next month's race.
Spoiler
My training is now in your hands for the rest of my career.
After each race I can receive both EXP and Form Points.
EXP is a permanent stat gains while Form is temporary (the next race/stage).
A maximum of 3 EXP and 5 Form can be rewarded after each stage.
After any stage I receive EXP or Form points
you guys get to decided where I put those stat gains to use.
All you have to do is comment on which category you want
1 of the stat gains to go (Ex. Mountain, Sprint, Flat, etc.)
The EXP points are used up first followed by the Form.
Each member can only say one category for themselves.
And it will go until all the points are used up.
If you have any questions about my training, leave a question below.
It looks confusing at first but it's rather simple,
and this will be the only method for me to progress talent wise.
