The triumph was at home and I was rewarded. Rawarded lots of times over the last couple of years. Nobody had approximately could catch up with me.
I observed the many audiences, who cheered me, but in all eyes I could feel that their were someting... Something mistrustful. I looked after any man with a suspicious face. I could be discovered every second. The hammer may fall, when it should be. I was paranoid to everyone who came too close to me. They had stood speechless and looked on me while I had driven my competitors behind, and I could not believe they didn't have a suspicion of what I was doing.
I was perplexed that it had made such a big difference. I was stunned that it was possible - that I could get that far. Longer than I could even dream of. But I knew what it was. Too good to be true.

Hello and welcome to my story about the Belgian rider, Edward Mancini. He is scoutet, and is therefore not in real cycling. The story will follow him through thick and thin. It will follow him through his career, and he just came from the u23 level. Welcome! |

Lovely banner and great read. What's happening around the forum last couple of days? HUGE number of new stories!
Good luck, looks very promising.

Good luck. Interesting start, comes off with a morale focus I believe. No particularly fan of doping topic in cycling stories, but this seems to be built around this topic and is not simple a gimmick in the story.

Lots of luck to you good read already. Mancini, he must be of Italian descendant. Belgian and Italian, great cycling combination!! |

And one question, (in Danish)
Begyndte du ikke den her story på PCMFreaks?, fordi så ved jeg, hvad det er for en.  |

It's on you. If you already have it all written, 2 or maybe even 3 per day would be the best, I guess.

Okay, guys, I decided to make an update every 4 or 5 day.
Are there any more comments to the intro before we move on |

I've got a perfect chance to become a professional cyclist. I have been stagaire with Team Saxo - Tinkoff, but it’s not expected that I should deliver from day one. Nor for the future. I have been picked for the team as my older brother, Janne, is predicted to be a huge talent, but we're a package deal. We can’t imagine anything but be together on the same team, and so it does not matter whether we need to run the same race or not. We just can’t run against each other. I really think it all pops out in us through our upbringing has been very close, and this, we will have forever.
Jannes has this season been amazing among u23 riders. He massacred them - humiliated them - so even Lance Armstrong would look gaping at him. I think he can be good, but he loses the mentality. He won’t do what it takes to be good. But I will. I will fight fervently every second of being better. I will fight all I could; I'll do anything. Literally. You can put anything in it you want, but I 'm sure that no matter what I do, then I'm on par with the rest.
But I can’t deny that I haven’t got the world's biggest talent on a bike. Riders on my level don’t become professional, but I've done the cutting edge. For a shortcut, yes, but I'm here. It is the most important. The future must show whether I can deserve to be here but I know I have what it takes. It lies on stored underground. It is waiting to be unearthed and will be used as it deserves. It is hidden, yet it seems so obvious what I have to go through in order to be good. It seems so obvious that I will have to do more than anything. It is not fair, no, but I will not be content with just being a loyal helper. I want to go to the top. I will be praised, be honored. I want to be remembered for not just being Jannes Mancini's brother, but to be this rider who could do a little more than everyone else. The rider who dominated for many years, and I was sure that it was possible, but only if I was ready to do it. Do it for real. Not just once in a while, but regularly with abnormal amounts. But how? That was the question.
*
I was coming into the room, but I was naive, and I looked constantly backwards to see if anyone was following me. Five steps to the room, and there was a voice. My heart jumped a few extra times, but it was just a little noise from another room. I opened the door and saw a large, dark room with only a small lamp as the only light. It was creepy, but it was what I was doing too. I could see Emanuelle in a white robe. He was about to fill it up; fill it up with illegal stuff. I sat down and I could feel it in my whole body. I took an exertional bite my in lips, and I could feel that it disappeared off my body. I could breathe again. It was done.

Nice read, allthough I find mistakes here and there.
Before you post, you might consider re-reading it. That would be the best advice I could give you for the time being. Good luck!
