Evaldas Siskevicius is currently the team's best rider, which means that he's the main leader in the squad. The Lithuanian will be targeting stage wins and flat classics throughout the season. His goal is to snatch three victories during the season.
Pierre-Luc Perichon is our other captain. He proved his excellent climbing capacity by winning the real life edition of Paris-Camembert, an accomplishment he will try to repeat during this season. Leader in most of the hilly classics.
For the sprints, we've also got the quick Benjamin Giraud. He will have a quite free role in the squad, and get the opportunity to ride for himself in most races. His targeted races are the early spring classics.
There's also a good backup for the hills, in the shape of Clément Koretzky, one of the biggest talents in the team. Stage wins will be his goal throughout this year, but we believe that he'll be a top rider in the future.
Last year's second in the U23 Ronde van Vlaanderen, Toms Skujins, will also have a rather free role. He's our hope in the few cobbled classics we're participating in this year. He has the potential to be one of the absolute best on that terrain, so he'll be interesting to follow.
As you can see, I've been editing the stats a bit. I've been looking through every one of the riders' results and updated the stats to a level I find realistic. Same thing has been done to every other team in the db.
The squad includes some useful helpers, and also quite a bit of talent. Yoann Paillot is one of the most promising time trial prospects in the cycling world at the moment, and Christophe Laporte could very well turn into a strong domestique.
That remains to be seen though. For now, the goal is to establish well in the Continental Tour and build towards the top with talented young riders. Already in 2013, this team will, hopefully, have grown a lot.

I guess its okay to post...
Anyway, love the Team choice. La Pomme Marseille are one of my favourite small teams, because I think they used to be affiliated with Caisse somehow, and also a lot of riders I like have come through them.
I thought you were going to do Dalkia since I saw the minijersey on the Tour de France Fantasy game, but atleast I guessed the right country

Why do I have the feeling that you gonna win a GT within 2 seasons with La Pomme??? (something to do with Skil....c ) Good luck, loved your previous Skil-story!

Glad to see people here already. Better start replying straight away!
@ SW - Thanks!
@ valv321 - It's almost scary how right you are! My original plan was to go with the Roubaix squad, but after I saw that Pinktay3 started a story with them, I changed. I prefer La Pomme anyway.
@ Miguel - You bet. I've spent all my free time during for the last week heavily updating the db. I've gone through every single team, updating every rider individually. Quite a lot of work, but I think it will make my story a bit unique in terms of results. I've still kept it realistic, obviously. 
@ dienblad - Hahah, that would be cool! The plan is to build up a strong WT team over a few seasons. I'll try to keep it French-Baltic like the squad currently is, but probably with a bit of flavour from other eastern European countries too.
@ Alakagom - For sure! Three seasons from now, people will be suspicious of the amazing La Pomme mountain train instead of Sky's.
Team presentation will probably be up later today!

Nice. I'd forgot Skujins was still on La Pomme, I thought he'd moved on!
He is a really bright talent for the future.

Awsome, If this one will be half as good as the Skil story, we've got another great story.
Good luck, will follow for sure.
