(quick mention, as you may see, it looks very much like Ian butlers style, but it's only because he inspired me to do this story and this type, and also thanks to him for showing me how to create people into pcm!)
Hello people, Our names are Iban Gonzalez and Carlos Guevara
And this is our blog where we'll update you on our road to success.
To start with, each of us will tell you a little about ourself.
 Iban Gonzalez
Full name: Iban José Gonzalez
Country/Region: Spain; The Balearic Islands
Birth: 03/05/1992
Height: 180 cm
Weight: 59 kg
Speciality: My speciality withing cycling is climbing which my trainer always have said through the years, but I also LOVE going downhill!
My Attributes:

Pre-Professional history: I started cycling when I was 5 years old when I got a bike as a gift for christmas by my grandparents, and fell in love with it, at the age of 12 I got into amateur racing and won alot of races, and when I was 15, I got a phone from the CEO of Euskatel - Euskadi who asked if I wanted to join their junior team. And I couldnt say no to such an offer. This season is my first as professional and I hope for a good season to prove that I'm worth the money they use on me!
 Carlos Guevara
Full name: Carlos Guevara
Country/ Region: Brazil; Rio de Janeiro
Birth: 24/10/1991
Height: 185
Weight: 76
Speciality: My specialty within cycling is Time Trial, which is something I've always loved to do; Racing alone, Just me and my bike. Don't take me wrong, I love riding with others, but it's just something with riding alone on a time-trial bike that amazes me.
My Attributes:
Flat: 73 Acceleration: 70 Mountain: 60 Hill: 72 Downhill: 70 Fighter: 72 Team Trial: 76 Stamina: 69 Prologue: 77 Resistance: 70 Cobblestone: 60 Recovery: 70 Sprint 65
Pre-Professional history: I got my first bike at the age of 9 by my parents for my birthday, and was cycling everyday after I got it. When I turned 11, I started amateur racing for a local team. And after a race when I was 16, a scout from Euskatel - Euskadi who was there watching the race contacted me and said that he had a offer, I said yes and moved to Basque Country to start racing for their Juniour team, This season is my first as professional, and my conctract ends this season so I have to get some good results!
Our team contains 23 riders (25 with us) and is mostly basque people.
Our captains are:
Samuel Sánchez
He's an awesome guy, with alot of talent and have a big chance of winning this years Tour de France, which is something he's aiming for.
Igor Antón
This guy... This guy gotta be one of the biggest talents we have seen.. He's concentrating on the Vuelta a España, and gotta be one of the biggest favorites!
Thanks for reading our first post on the blog and we'll be back to you soon!

Our Month
Me, Iban Gonzalez is doing this months summary of how it went with us
This month went pretty good although we were'nt in any races. We were at a training camp in Madrid for a few days, and it went pretty good, we rode for about 100km everyday with normal speed, it was pretty hilly sometimes, but both of us handled it pretty well, Carlos who arent a climber was pretty tired after that training, but at the Time Trial training, he showed some huge skills and got the best time, 1'02 infront of Samuel Sanchez! Time Trial isnt my type of thing so I took a easy ride, and came 14th 5'26 behind Carlos. We talked alot to the other riders of the team and got to know them alot better, I can see it on Carlos that he's nervous on not getting his contract renewed, but I think that if he continues to deliver the results he did in the training, he won't have a problem getting one at all!
That was pretty much all that have happened the month of January, thanks for reading and we'll be back to you later! |

Vuelta a Mallorca
Stage 1
Iban Gonzalez
My day was pretty much only to get waterbottles to the team and help to catch the breakaway if it got to much time. If noone of my team was there ofcourse
I saw on Kruijswijk that it was something wrong with his bike, few minutes later he was on the ground, I hope everything went good with him!
When it was ca. 35 km left, the pace got really high when the teams with sprinters wanted to get the time the breakaway had a little down, at the highest we rode at 60 KM/H!!! I tried my best and kept my position in the peleton!
Carlos Guevara
In the bus before the race, our manager told me that I was gonna try my best to get in a breakaway.
And I did just that! I'm so excited to be in the first breakaway of my career!!
I tried my best to keep the gap we had to the peleton, but noone else was helping me and I was so tired that I had to stop drive, and we got catched before we knew the word of it.
When I got back to the peleon my manager said on the speaker that I was going to help the sprint train to Perez as Last driver before the lead-out man Urtasun is starting the sprint.
When we had sorted out the sprint train I felt that I got so excited and was ready to do one of the best km's of my life so far!
This went straight to hell....
when I was going to do my effort... I had nothing to come with and our train went far back in the peleton and I was so sad and tired that I just gave up.. When I came to the bus our manager said that it was ok and that everyone has these days.

Firstly.. I'm not copying him, He's the one I get inspiration from
Secondly... Is it so fucking bad that I use a layout that looks like his? If you think that you can just ignore the story and both is satisfied |

Hahaha, I could'nt come up with any brazilian last name and so I thought of a south african name and I got che guevara in my head (he's from cuba or something) and I thought it sounded cool so I chose it.
And thank you man!
