Thanks a lot Luigi! Nice to hear you like my effects and such!
Jseadog, you might find out tonight or the night after, most likely 
Pelli, great to see you here! Thanks for the nice words, I hope it will be awesome atleast!
Ian, Thanks 
Avin, I had a feeling you'd like my team, mostly because of a few Czech riders I have high hopes for them, and I really hope I stick a long time! I had longevity in mind when choosing this team!
And to everyone, its great to hear nice words about the presentation so far!

Nice rider presentation. I especially like König can't wait to see what you can achieve with him. He was good in austria last year by the way. That race should suit him and could be important to the sponsor too
But you will plan a great season for your team yourself, sorry 
so whats next? I want to know about the fan section! |

So what will the Fan Section consist of this season?
Well I have decided to make this thread as interactive as I can, I think it makes it more fun for me, and all of my followers!
The Fan Section will be a ranking of points, which will be awarded to members in various ways, which I will tell you, now over the course of the whole season (I will award many points near the end, so that it is possible to make a comeback as long as you try)!
The first and most exciting way that you will score points in this fan section is through Player Sponsoring! It is a feature I have adopted after I was going through the Fifa Forums and saw it was a popular way to get everyone involved! How it works is users can pick cyclists from my team, and they will gain points depending on how well that rider does throughout the season, thats it, there is no work or commitment on your part after you have picked your rider! A rider can only be picked once, so it is first come first served when it comes to giving away riders for Sponsoring! (More rules can be seen below about sponsoring)
However if you miss your chance on a rider, or even if you already have one, there are more ways to gain points! There will be trivia questions, periodically, which can help you earn points towards the overall ranking which will be added up for the whole season, so dont ever give up. The trivia can be basic questions, just generally being active (although posts will not be counted up, it is about quality not quantity) all the way to guessing specific riders in guess the cyclist games, and even guessing possible transfer signings for the next seasons. For the trivia questions, the exact point output will be posted on each separate trivia question, as they will vary, but it should become more clear, once we have the first one!
Rider Sponsoring (How Scoring will Work)
Spoiler
500 Points for a ProTour Stage Win
100 Points for a CT Stage Win (CT meaning all levels of the Conti Tour, whether it be 2.HC or a 2.2 Race)
50 Points for a PT Stage Podium
25 Points for a CT Stage Podium
1000 Points for a PT GC Win
300 Points for a CT GC Win
200 Points for a PT Sprint, KoM or U25 Jersey
150 Points for a CT Sprint, KoM or U25 Jersey
*note, Team Results do not count for this competition!
And if you have any questions about the scoring please ask! I will not be adding any more ways to score thru sponsoring, or else it would be too time consuming on my part, sorry.
So how it will all work is that now, based on these rules you will pick a rider that you think will get you the most points in this competition to hopefully win!
You can select a rider from the list below, and they can only be picked by one user, and you will have this rider for the whole season, so chose wisely.
(Riders reset at the end of the season, so season 2 you will not have the same rider as Season 1, unless you are lucky enough to pick them again in time.)
NetApp Rider Sponsoring
Jan BARTA - rorzcp
Jerome BAUGNIES - fjhoekie
Cesare BENEDETTI - Alakagom
Matthias BRANDLE - Teddy The Creator
Andreas DIETZIKER - Ian Butler
Markus EICHLER - MrDemus
Reto HOLLENSTEIN - fernando97
Bartosz HUZARSKI - Avin Wargunnson
Grischa JANORSCHKE - Miguel98
Blaz JARC - bendzsi98
Leopold KONIG - canojuancho
Andreas SCHILLINGER - johannes-w
Daniel SCHORN - PCM rulezz
Andre SCHULZE - tsmoha
Michael SCHWARZMANN - sutty68
Timon SEUBERT - FreitasPCM
Marcell WYSS - Pellizotti2
*I will bold riders names as they are taken, and write who claimed that rider next to them as well.
Prizes:
So as winner of the overall Fan Ranking, you will get a Special Team NetApp Fan of the Year Sig, as well as a custom signature with a rider of your choice made by me! Its not much, but its all I can offer, and I hope that being Champion is a good enough prize already! The Ranking Table will be updated constantly in the post on Page 1, but I will probably post it at the end of each (in-game) month.
Oh and one final thing actually, you are not obliged to take part in this competition if you dont want to, you can just be a regular follower like other stories, thats totally fine by me. I doubt this will appeal to everyone anyway, although this wont take any sort of commitment, like I have said before, so it cant hurt to take part!
So, thats it I guess. I feel I've missed something, but hopefully not. So pick your riders, and hopefully this will be a fun idea for everyone, and hopefully its not too much to handle for me! Ask Questions if needed, I have tried to be clear, but like I said, I probably missed something. The First Trivia will be in a day or two.
So thanks everyone and be sure to read this post in its entirety.

Thanks guys! I was worried this wouldn't be such a great idea, but I'm glad this idea seems to be popular already!
And Avin is gonna be pissed. No Czech rider for him, and he normally comes on about now
