Rik Van Damme: The New Generation | First Race
francopell
Another story. Hope it can be good Grin
 
sutty68
You finished like you expected, very nice Wink
 
JuanMotr
First of all. Good luck. Smile. Second I think Roberto story is great idea but I really like your layouts when you are writing like you are the cyclist so I´m glad you are back with future Stijn Wink.
And I believe you can handle two stories. Wink
 
FreitasPCM
Good luck for this one, Ian, I really like your stories, and hope you feel motivated for all of the 3 you have now. Smile

Nobody writes stories like you Ian. You're the best single story maker on this site for sure. I cant handle one story and you're taking three extremely well written at the same time!! Man you're good Grin.

Nice to see Stijn come back as well. I missed him very much. When I read the episode when Stijn won his first Paris-Roubaix. I was cheering for him like he was a real rider Smile

Although, I admire Ian much, I think dienblad's and Pellizotti's stories are also just as good, when it comes to quality. Wink

EDIT: No offence Ian, I really like your stories too. Wink

They are in a different league since Ian don't do team stories. Ian is the best single story maker

Oh you mean one-rider! I didn't get "single" for the 1st time! Then you're right, I believe.

francopell: Thanks, I'll try my best Smile

sutty68: Thanks! The first races will be without expectations, I think Wink

JuanMotr: I'm glad you like my 'blog-stories'. He may be a future Stijn but this time it'll take a much longer time getting there. I'm not sure how it'll develop yet but I don't see him breaking much records. Winning RvV once would be extremely awesome for him Wink But he's young, who knows, maybe at 27 he's a world class rider and then he can start doing Stijns Grin

FreitasPCM: Thanks, I'll definitely try to keep motivated Wink

Daggen: Thank you so much for those kind words! I think there are some very good writers out there, and some great one-rider stories, so your words really mean a lot, thanks Smile
Hope Rik will move you even more than Stijn Grin

fernando97: No offence taken. I don't think I'm the best writer around here. But I try my best Wink Just being considered as one of the best is a real honor, thanks!

I guess it's right what some said, it's hard to stay focused on 2 stories. Keeping motivated isn't that hard, but keeping the pace in both stories is very difficult. It would be possible but I still want some life besides PCM, you know Pfft And I'd rather keep the pace in Roberto than have 2 stories that go real slow, I don't think anyone wants that.

So what I'll do is currently keep Roberto moving and keep this for later. I will come back to this, or I might come back and reshape this one into a double story (like Eric & Stijn).
Hope I didn't disappoint too many people here, but I wanted to give it a go, now I know. But I'll definitely keep this character in mind for after Roberto.
Sorry, and hopefully you understand!

It was always going to be hard to keep up with both Frown

But at least Roberto carries on Wink
 
JuanMotr
I hope you will come back to this Smile and good luck with keeping Roberto alive hope you are still motivated enough.. Wink
 
Ian Butler
sutty68: Thanks for the understanding Wink

JuanMotr: Oh, definitely, 100% motivated! Motivation isn't the problem, focus and time are my biggest rivals in running 2 stories Smile If I would have more hours in the day, I would do it Pfft



 
Daggen
Frown I'm happy that you will continue on Roberto but I was really looking forward to a Rik van Damme story Sad Smile really mixed feelings
 
Pinktay3
This was very good. I like the longer reports compared to Roberto. If you (which i hope you don't) change story, i'd really like you to do this one Smile
 
rogvi97
Another story and another great decision! Respect Smile
