The graphic looks really nice. One tip, I'd duplicate the layers of the two little pictures, then put on some radial blur on the second layer so the effects of self-cropping aren't visible. You'll see when you do it. 
Still a really nice graphic. Only just noticed the Canadian flag in the background. 
Great! Those suggestions, were good. I also had a little more fun. I played around with the pen tool, and did what you suggested.
I think it looks better now 
The graphic looks even nicer now! I'm a noob with the pen tool, random shapes are all I can do really, but as shown here, they work!
Btw, If you scroll down the first page really fast, it's kinda trippy.

Great job transfering the story. I'm very curious to see where David will be riding in 2014.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

Good luck with this, I take it the fact you have started this means you converted it fine
Nice OP graphic and inventive idea with the loading bars... |

@ Cunego59 - Yeah, well, a lot of people have started doing a lot of reserves, and I don't think it will be that big, most of it is probably stuff you will be expecting
@ Alakagom - Yeah it is. Well good luck, getting into the battle, I don't really know I'm in it yet, but I'll try Thanks!
@ Freitas - Thanks, I can't wait to start either. Hopefully you enjoy them. I'm going to try and implement a few new things, but some stuff, has already been done by other people, and shouldn't be too new
@ olabj - Wow, its great to see you here again! I hope you stick around too, and I'm sure everyone else hopes you do too! Thanks!
@ Pelli2 - Thank you, I thought it was quite a clever idea myself, and it only took about 5 minutes to do them all. Plus, then it isn't just an empty post A BIG thanks as well
@ Teddy - Thanks. The pen tool is a little tricky, but if you watch tutorials on Youtube, you could get better, quickly. I taught myself though
You're right, very trippy.
@ sutty - Thanks, glad to see you here
@ andy222c - Well once I fill them all So far, I've hardly had to dedicate myself to those 10 posts
Thank you, glad you are too! And thanks a lot. Making graphics has become sort of a computer hobby for me, so after a month or two now, I've gotten a lot better.
@ baia - Thanks a lot. Very happy to have you here, and hopefully you can stick around here. I've got to admit, I dont check your story enough. Hopefully that can change, as I love your story, and the team especially.
@ baseballlover - Whoa! Haven't seen you in a long time! Thanks. Thats the first thats been mentioned and I'm glad its been now I will tell where David is riding later
@ Alastair - Thanks. Oh not yet. I'm still waiting for the 2012 db Glad you like the graphic, and thanks for liking the loading bars. I liked the idea, and I didn't want to just post "reserve 1, reserve 2, etc."
Now to get working on the reserve stuff.

@ Baia - I'll promise to follow, from now on!
And guys, I just want to say, I'll be updating the posts, and I hope they are done before the weekend. I'm also working on finishing the PCM 10 season, so I can get a review of that going.
Then hopefully the 2012 db should be out soon, and if not, I have a few things I have to do anyway, like Sponsor Changes etc.
And the long wait, to finally see where David goes!

@ Sutty - This time, its intentional
@ Mre - That would be really funny!
Only one person, knows, unless I changed my mind after I told him.....
But I've realised I have to release where he goes, before I update the reserve posts, so it will happen sooner than you may think.
And lets say I've got to August. How do I look back at the individual stage results of the Giro and Tour? I cant seem to find them, like I was able to before.

I guess I'm screwed.......or.......?????

Valverde Tops them All!
At the end of the 2013 season only one man can truly be pleased with his performances, and that is Alejandro Valverde. He has won numerous races, and taken a high amount of points in every race he's participated in. In his second season after coming back from suspension, Valverde took early season victories in the Tour du Haut Var, Paris - Nice, and the Tour of Basque Country. These early successes paved the way for more victories, as he was slightly edged at L-B-L but later took a great win at the Tour of Romandie. As the Grand Tours came into the scene, Valverde quieted down just a bit, but he still had decent results in the pre-Tour de France race, Tour du Suisse. His results at the Tour weren't that great, but he came back for his home countries Grand Tour the Vuelta a Espana, and ended up finishing 4th overall. Clearly, he was becoming tired of all his race days, but hopefully he sees this, and will come back next season more focussed than ever, and maybe he will be the Rider of 2014 then...
Peter Kennaugh's Emergence
Peter Kennaugh, has really developed into the rider his Sky managers were hoping. He's been a standout all season long, for just how many Youth Classification victories, he's gotten. He's been working really hard, and thanks to that and his team-mates, he can be called the Best Young Rider of the Giro d'Italia as well as the Vuelta a Espana!
These results, have really been the talk in the Team Sky bus, as the rest of the team, has been having an off year. There needs to be a shake up in that team, because on paper, they are probably the best all-rounded team.
Many riders contracts are ending this season on Sky, including David Veilleux, Roman Kreuziger, Geraint Thomas, Edvald Boasson Hagen and Russel Downing. Some think that Sky will hold on to EBH, and Thomas, but get rid of the others, to make room for Mark Cavendish, the fastest sprinter in the world, who is also out of a contract with Saunier Duval - Highroad as they continue to try and become the top German cycling team in the world. Other free agents include Luis Leon Sanchez, the winner of the Giro, and Alejandro Valverde, who is rumoured to Garmin and Telefonica. One thing that may be for sure, is the Team Sky roster, which could look much different next season.

Awesome review, really love the first graphic. I also can't believe Gilbert won La Vuelta, as well as LL Sanchez winning the Giro! Amazing!
It seems as if David might be leaving Sky, but hopefully to greener pastures.
