Name: Erik Johansson
Age: 18
Nationality: Sweden
Rider type: Stage racer
Attributes
68 climbing and 68 TT would be nice
Extras
Erik is Swedens hope for a GT win and ire looks like he has the potential. He can't accelerate very well so he won't be able to win races like L-B-L or La Flèche Wallonne. He's a guy who will fight to the very last minute

Basics
Name: Kim Yoo-suk
Age: 19
Nationality (if you are from a country with multiple regions in the DB, be specific with it) North Korea
Type of rider (TT, climber, sprinter etc) Stage racer
Attributes
Unlike others, I can actually count to 2, so please give me Mountain and TT at 68 
Extras
The younger brother of Po-ding, he's a bit of a different rider. Doesn't like attacking, doesn't like sprinting. He just follows or sets his own pace. Though quite good on the flat and hills, timetrialing and mountains is what he does best. But nothing too short for hills or mountains, he doesn't like the explosive stuff. He just wants to set his pace, outlast the others and watch them drop towards the end. Dreads cobbles.

Basics
Name: Luc Jaquin
Age: 19
Nationality: France (Provence Alpes - Cote D'Azur)
Type of rider: Punchy Sprinter
Attributes
Hills 68, Sprints 68
Extras
Luc is a beast. He's terrific in long one day classics, both hilly and flat, because of his amazing stamina and resistance. His goal is to one day ride for the win in races like Milano - San Remo, LBL and Il Lombardia, just like his idol, Paolo Bettini. He's too heavy and large to ever be a good climber, and has another big weakness: His bike handling. He's a bad descender and an even worse cobbled rider.

Loving several things.
First how some people can't either read or count to two 
Second how no-one has gone for less that 68 on both stats
Third how most riders are always climbers/stage racers

True, I originally thought you just could pick 2 strong stats and that adding extra 'weak' stats were allowed, but after a re-read it's just: pick 2  |

Thanks for everyone's entries so far, and yes I did say two attributes so I only took the first two if you gave me more!
One problem, I don't think I actually mentioned anywhere (whoops, my bad) that this is a British team, and so far we have a mighty 1 British rider(s), so some more Brits would be nice! |

Basics
Name: Wesley Hoogenboom
Age: 17
Nationality: Dutch (Drenthe)
Type of rider: TTist who is good at hills
Attributes: TT 67, PRL 68
Extra:
Wesley started his Cycling career very young. He's very talented. His specialisation is TT, but he's kinda allround.
He can go up hills very good, almost as good as he can TT. Shorter TT's are his speciality, but he's also very good in longer ones. His energy stats(REC, RES, STA) are very good, and he needs that in his TTs... Of course as a TTist he's also very quick on the flat. He can also do a good job in the cobbles, but won't be a leader, since there are better cobblers in the team. His ability in the mountains is OK. He won't be the first to drop, but can't hold on to the end, unless he got a good day.
Weaknesses? Yeah. Except his mountain ability, which still is decent though, he can't sprint, and won't be a last leadout ever, since he's just not fast enough. He also dislikes attacking. Just not that kind of guy.
Personality: Wesley is a realistic and modest type of guy. Also a little bit shy.
It will be interesting to see how he will develop. He's kinda allround, so he might develop into a puncheur or cobbler. He will always be one of the best TTists in the team though, doesn't matter how he will develop, he will definitely get better in TTs anyway

Asylum granted! This is Britain after all, you can come in if you have sporting talent, hey Chris Froome and Mo Farah.  |

Well, Ricardo may not be British, but he's probably in the mafia, so that's something, right? |

No its ok, we now have three Brits, your riders can stay as they are, but ideally the remaining slots should be filled by British, Irish or maybe Australian riders. |
