Okay, I want to start by saying that my reputation for stories is well warranted, with the major reason they suddenly drop off being that I find it hard to stay interested, so I have a fun little way to tell a story, that doesn't require a long commitment.
The idea is that I will play only a single Tour de France, however, because no one will want to follow it with my writing (I'm no SN or Guido) I'm going to make it more fun in three ways:
1) I will play with PCM 1, from 2005, and I am using the PPDB for that year.
2) I will play with a random team selection
3) You get to choose the team
So hopefully this should get some readers and I can finish it.
Part 1:
The race, we have 12 flat, 5 hill and 4 mountain stages:
And these are the teams, obviously Rabobank is the big favorite, but some other teams can bring some good riders:
So vote for your favorite team, I will close the poll sometime on Wendsday
I hope to post a stage a day, however I may have to skip a day or two at the beginning |

Why don't you take Rabobank out?
Might be more interesting results wise to see who would win from out of the 'weaker' teams. |

Because that would be breaking the spirit of the idea. Plenty of teams, like Bretange, can bring riders in the high 70's in climbing |

It's a PCM 2005 Story, so there is no right forum. |

Looks like the Portuguese are in force for this one.
The poll will "close" around 5 pm (EST you do the math), tomorrow, Jan. 14th |

As I noted, it was a random team selection, and I thought it was only fair to put all 20 teams up |

I voted for Bretange, because I thought they had no chance of being selected (I was right) and I had to look at the poll.
But I want Jet Fuel right now, it would be hilarious |

It is a tie between Jet Fuel and Rabobank, therefore I will flip a coin (even though every one will think I just chose one I promise I have flipped one).
Heads - Rabobank
Tails - Jet Fuel
And the flip is.......
Heads
Rabobank it is (damn this will be easy)
Team presentation to come soon, first stage tommorow

Disappointing. It could have been interesting with Jet Fuel. |
