It's a story that has been coming since i joined back in 2012. In fact Cav's was the focus of my first story start but it never got going. So for the confusion here is The Manx Missile by TheManxMissile!
Quick Note: My game is currently not with me, but is supposed to be delivered tomorrow
Spoiler Karl Hammarling doesn't take a lot of time to write these days and no longer requires any stages to be played (yes i'm that far ahead of posting). The next two weeks are almost completely free of things to do and after April 1st i won't have any more lectures this academic year. Basically i've got enough time to run two stories at once. Also you'll note this is a PCM12 story so i will actually be playing the races.
the_hoyle's PCM11 story was awesome so how is this different? Well we will begin in 2006 and chart his whole career from neo-pro to all time legend. At the end of each season i'll change around some of the team names to follow what really happened. I'll monitor the transfers closely to maintain realism and to follow real life, to an extent. I've also got a list of riders to add in each season so there will be recognizable names popping-up after a few seasons.

Not sure how far you can go with PCM12 (it's somehow outdated and it's hard to keep your motivation when you have new version of the game), but good luck.
It's going to be finished after few pages since it's TMM, anyways.

@jt1109 - There will be hundreds of them
@Code - Well i can run 3D mode so yeah, banana all the way
@Dippo - Thank you, i thought so as well
@admir - I could go a long way with PCM12. For one i can actually play races with it and i loved the career tons. Add in a DB i've barely ever used, my favorite rider and quite a bit more free time and it should get to at least Page 10
@NTT - I love to keep people guessing

Looks like a great idea and concept, if you can keep this up for a few seasons then it has a lot of potential I'll be following!

@ste - Thanks
@cunego - I hope i can do many many seasons. Luckily i only have to do sprint stages which will keep a nice speed and motivation
Anyway DB downloaded (in about 20mins, if you have PCM12 this DB is worth it because it's f*cking fast!) and i've edited the .cdb. Added in 11 "talents" (real people who were in their last non-pro season, or near enough to it) and changed various potentials and other bits.

Did you edit Kittel?

@Code - Kittel didn't go pro until 2011 so no...
@SSJ2 - I did say with edits. Not that it makes a big difference

Good luck TMM with TMM. Looks like a very ambitious project but I'm sure you're able to pull it off. It's weird seeing Cavendish so young.

I guess I should follow this since I made some of the stats in this DB and I want to see them in action.
