Hiya everybody once again  I'm back  To this part of the forum anyway 
Well, after my last story with Sky, I am ready to start new one. Last few months were extremely busy for me, school taking huge part of my time. I am in my last week of Christmas exams so almost finished
So, third story, third time lucky ? Ehhh I am going to begin the start in January, when the PCM.Daily DB will come out I hope.
There's four teams in the poll, and all of them I would enjoy playing.
Team Sky
No explanation needed. with addition of Cavendish and few others it makes the team quite strong, but there would be much more expections with Cav in squad.
Omega Pharma-Quick Step
I really like the new set up, jersey and riders. So should be enjoyable and challenging too.
Rabobank
Strong throughout, and similar to OPQS really. Always very interesting team to play as.
GreenEDGE Cycling
Well always interesting playing new team. Might be bit monotonous/challenging with so many sprinters and almost no climbers.

The Sky story from you was great, glad to see you back then! I'll choose for GreenEdge because there isn't a GreenEdge story at the moment and it's a bigger challenge i think.

I voted for GreenEdge as well. Imo, it provides the best long-term motivation as the others already have quite complete squads but with GreenEdge you'd have a lot of possibilities to shape the team your way.

I voted Rabobank, but I realised I should have voted Greenedge because they have Teklehaimanot and Beppu

Green Edge, and don't forget to get a stage win at the Tour Down Under with Robbie Mc Ewen! Otherwise you got a problem with me |

Rabobank... Not boting as they can challenge in almost any part of a race, except sprints ... Bonus points if u love Kelderman

I voted for Team Sky, but if you have already made a story with this team then i suggest you try someone new, possibly GreenEdge |

I haven't seen to many stories for omega-pharma lotto so I'd like to see you lead 1) Gilbert through the cobbles and 2) see if you could beat Cav to the Green jersey with Greipel in the TdF. Go for it, you know you want to |

It´s not Omega Pharma-Lotto it´s Omega Pharma-Quickstep. Also Gilbert is in BMC in 2012.

Thank you for all the votes and comments
One reason I put Omega Pharma-Quickstep as I didn't see many stories with Omega or Quickstep this year, but it looks like it's between two teams so far

We'll see how the vote goes, but if I choose GE it would be intresting choice of main sprinter for TDU, arguably most important race for GE all year ( except Tour ). It really depends on the random part of PCM - starting fitness of a rider. My preferred choice would be to have Goss as sprinter and leader too. I really depends on fitness if Gerrans has good fitness I would go for him in the Nats and as GC in TDU.
If McEwen has good starting form, you never know
Going to start the thread about week/two weeks from now, so keep voting please

Voted OPQS. I just like them.
But no matter what team you choose, I'm sure it'll be a good story. And it's nice to see you back.

GreenEDGE. They have an interesting team for sprints and classics, plus Beppu and Teklehaimanot. |

It's good to see you back, i'll be looking forward to follow your story
I've voted for Omega Pharma - QuickStep. I think they have good a very good allround team and is able to win every type of races.
With Boonen and Terpstra for the cobbles, Ciolek and Steegmans for the sprints, Peter Velits and Leipheimer for the stage races and Chavanel and Martin for everything else.
In my opinion Omega Pharma - QuickStep is the most complete team in the world tour in 2012.
The opportunities with GreenEgde seems limited i think. They can do well in the sprints and some smaller stage races, but that's it i think. And i do also think that a lot of members on this forum will make a GreenEdge story - Don't know why, but appearently everybody seems to love this team
