Panria or summat... Cant spell the name you'll get it 
Reason - Decent climber, took part in Giro in RL and some sprinters that could win some Conti races never seen them in a Story before. |

Well the best all round team would be the likes of CSC or T-Mobile. It depends if you want to do ProTour or Continental.

If he isnt a great player I would say to choose a Conti team so the races are slightly easier and theres no presure of being relegated, he can always get wild cards too |

Slipstream isn't exactly an all-around team. I'd go with something like Panaria, since they have great climbers, and have good enough sprinters to do decently in Continental races. Selle Italia's the next best one for that. If you want a team with decent cobble riders, Chocolade Jacques would be the best choice (but they don't really have climbers, so it's a tradeoff) |

I thinking to go with Discovery..I have enough masohism to fight in pro tour. Other options had T-Mobile (affraid to suffering to much in grand tours)...Rabobank ( with personal reason I cant go with it). Disco looks good should have in picture of any race...classics...sprints...mountains...
cobble-races.

Ok here we go.
Team presentation.
Goals:
Secondary sponsors:
  
Main raiders:
 Absolute leader Levi Leipheimer:"My main goal for 2007 season is TdF, other races are irrelevant, just to get finest peak in july
 Co-leader Popo- Sponsors seems still have big hope against this cyclist. They like to see him winning Giro. My opinion is that top 5 will be hard enough. But I like to get some sponsor money also in next season. My plans with him is good perfomance one of the april big races,and Levi helper in TdF
 Co-leader George Hincapie - Main man for spring goals with Devolder. Also TdF isn't TdF if there isn't big George
 Young gun Alberto Contador- Winter trainings have done well. He's first peak gonna be in Paris-Nice or Tirreano. Season main goal is Vuelta, if Valverde is there he should affraid because Alberto specialy prepearing for that
 Sprinter Allan Davis- I realy hope he can get over his Liberty team "crash". Happy manager I am if I own such good sprinter in my team. Davis himself seems to have ready for 100% season and like to take part in Giro and TdF (will see..but certainly I am gonna give him chance to prove his talent
 Future man Janez Brajkovic Sunshine boy and hugh talent gonna try this year his first Giro.
will be edited soon..

this is crap!!!!
just joking you there Guido
pity about the crash, but nice team choice, it would be good to see how Popo does in the Giro, i would have thought Contador would've been you're man there as he has very good stats in the PPDB, but i suppose he is Spanish, so Vuelta is probably the most obvious choice
EDIT: just thought, was it in Contador's programme not to ride the Giro, or just your decision?

Ok lets go on...
Australian championships
Team: 
Has you notice Davis is in, and for reason. He wants badly to wear that most beautiful national champ jersey. Stage is all known up and down's.
Early 7 cycling break away group..nothing serious max. lead was 7 min. but those guys has fool enough to attack eachother all the time.
Mathew Lloyd and Jai Crawford launches attack. Our leader Davis was in good position and thought that this is a to early.
Peloton wasn't going fast enough. Disco trio moved front to set pace to avoid grazy last hill mass attack. Nobody wants to help and cap between strong escapes grows.
Davis feels good and have bad feeling that victory is gone..he decided to go to beat at least all this group. In the way thrue finish he caches 3 man early escape group and leave them also behind in next hill.
Matthew Lloyd ,William Walker and Jai Crawford gonna decide who gonna win.
This will be Lloyd.
Davis finishes in fifth place and got nice picture :him, O.Grady,McEwen
1 Matthew Lloyd PREDICTOR - LOTTO 4h53'47
2 William Walker RABOBANK s.t.
3 Jai Crawford GIANT ASIA RACING TEAM s.t.
4 Adam Hansen T-MOBILE TEAM s.t.
5 Allan Davis DISCOVERY CHANNEL PRO CYCLING TEAM + 2'05 Player
6 Stuart O'Grady TEAM CSC s.t.
7 Robbie McEwen PREDICTOR - LOTTO s.t.
8 Matthew Rice JELLY BELLY CYCLING TEAM + 2'55
9 Cadel Evans PREDICTOR - LOTTO s.t.
10 Benjamin Brooks NAVIGATORS INSURANCE CYCLING TEAM s.t.
16 Trent Lowe DISCOVERY s.t.
31 Matthew White DISCOVERY +3'15

Good luck! Hopefully youll make it to the sprint finish, the stage is too hilly for any breaks to really stick.
