Hi,
As some of you may know, since the release of the PCMDaily 2013 Expansion Pack, I have not had much luck with my stories... My first one (Rapha-Rouleur ProCycling) fell fowl of a virus and system restore of my laptop, which was then stolen during a burgulary, ending the follow up story of Romain Bardet.
Well, I am back with a vengence. I have been quiet on the site since the burgulary, due to limited computer access, but now I have a replacement, and ready to pick up where I left off.
This will be a custom team story, and that is all I am saying at this moment. The rest will be revealed as the story unfolds before the season opener.
Game Information
Database: PCM.daily Expansion Pack
Patch: 1.0.4.0
Attribute Evolution: 0.3

 Rapha-Bianchi Racing Team 
Road Cycling in British is on the up! Recent Successes in the Tour De France by Bradley Wiggins and at the World Championship by Mark Cavendish has the world's eye looking squarely at this little island just off mainland Europe.
However, not all of the British public fell the same as others do about this new found glory. Team Sky's arrival on the scene in 2009, coupled with their race tactics and doping accusations, have made them a 'Marmite' team in the eyes of the world. The same can be said about the 'Manx Missile' Mark Cavendish. Whilst most see him a confident rider and not scared to say what he thinks, others see him as arrogant, over the top and a loud mouth.
Well this is where Rapha-Bianchi fit in. We want to create a team that adds excitement to the Cycling World, creating a team that is loved by all, across all generations of fans.
Rapha Clothing Company
The creator of some of the finest cycling clothing and accessories since 2003, Rapha have grown from humble beginnings to the where they are now, being one of leading clothing manufacturers in the Cycling World. They will be the team's main sponsor, as well as providing the clothing for the team.
Bianchi Bicycle Company
Like Rapha, Bianchi are the creator of some of the finest bikes in the Cycling Peleton. One of the pioneers behind the manufacture of bicycles as we know them today, Bianchi is the oldest bike manufacturing company still existance, having started in 1885.
Rapha-Bianchi Racing Team Jersey 2013
Designed and made by Rapha, whilst taking influences from Bianchi and its famous history, the 2013 kit puts a modern twist on the classic designs from the past.
The Bike
The Team will be riding the 2013 edition of the Oltre XR2 for forthcoming season.

30th November 2012
Hi, my name is Phil Hoyle, and I have called you here today to announce the latest British team to hit the roads and join Cycling's Elite.
The final details of the team are yet to sorted out, but we felt that this was a good time to release some information to the world of PCM Daily.
I can confirm for certain now, that we will have a British sponsor for the team, agreeing a 3-year deal, and we are close to signing a deal with a well-known European company, who will be the team's co-sponsor and bike supplier.
As for the team itself, we are aiming to have a roster of 20 riders, with a mixture of youth and experience, where the majority will be British based and the rest of the squad being made up of nationalities from all around the world. All the riders we are in discussion with have been out of contract as of the end of the current 2012 season, and have no prior convictions for drug use or doping in the sport.
Finally, I am pleased to announce that Chris Boardman has agreed to work as part of the team during their first year in the Pro Peleton. He work in an advisor role to the team, where his years of experience will be invaluable to all those involved. He is joined on the team by Rob Hayles, who will join the team as Directeur Sportif.

** TRANSFER NEWS **
New British Team begin to release Squad Details
Phil Hoyle has released the first signings for his new squad, ahead of the forthcoming 2013 season.
The still unnamed team, currently operating under the name Team WiP (Work in Progress), have announced the signing of 7 riders from their prospective 20 man roster.
Jonathan Bellis, Philip Lavery, Rene Mandri and Simon Richardson all join the squad following the release from their previous teams, whilst Owain Doull and the Yates Brothers, Adam and Simon, come into the squad after being part of the Great Britain Development Squad.
Negotiations are continuing with a number of other riders, with further announcement most likely to follow soon.

@Ian: I am afraid there will be no Bibby or Fenn joining the team. All the riders are free from contracts at the start of the game. They could join next season though
There are going to be some big names announced though
