Season 2
Hi guys, welcome to season 2 of my blog. So I have raced at Nerang 6 times since my last blog entry. I won 4 and get top 10 in the other 2. This was enough to be approached by 2 big teams in the NRS plus a few small teams. I will let you know about them in the next report. Seeya soon.

I would go with Drapac.
Riding for winnings is very risky financially and I think you're still to young to grt thr burden of full leadership.
Sure GreenEdge would be cool, but wait until you're stong enough to be more than a bottle-carrier

Totally agree with Atlantius and go with Drapac although o do have a soft spot for Budget Forklifts |

@Atlantius-Thanks for your input mate. I didn't think of it that way. I think I may be re thinking some ideas for the next few episodes
@Sutty-Budget is a great team!! I know a few of their riders and they really have hand picked the best few around. I went to their semi team presentation were no press was allowed (it was suppose to only be people that work at budget but as I said. I know people) and it really showed why each rider was chosen. It was a very good experience and I am trying to use what ingot from that and real life experience in cycling and put it into my story

Just wait and see what happens. I am rearranging episodes and rewriting at the moment as I am taking what you have said in and using it in my story. I want to write my own story but I want my fans to be involved as well. I think it is out of Drapac and Budget though....

Season 2
So my first team ruled out was Avanti Racing. A great team I know but I don’t think I will fit well in the team. I don’t think I would in properly. So 1 team gone, I’ll keep you posted on any further news.
So I am now left with GreenEDGE, Drapac, Budget Forklifts and Data#3. This is just the start of the decision making process. The 2 teams I am really considering and Budget Forklifts and Drapac Cycling. So with Avanti gone does anyone have an more reasons on why I should pick a certain team? My brain hurts from thinking about this decision and I really need help.

I would go for Drapac if you're playing with them in PCT. If not I would go with Greenedge

Data#3. Solid wage and leader status. I know they have awesome connections with World Tour and Pro Conti teams and their average age is one of the lowest of the major Australian teams thus giving you the upperhand of being very young but having leadership and guys around you. Plus it takes out some of your competitors because they'll be working for you |
