Season 1 / Rider Introductions
 Sylvain Lipawsky (Age 23) / trekbmc / #FamilyPride
Sylvain is a young Swiss cyclist, his father was a pro cyclist who represented France, but his career was not very illustrious. His father showed Sylvain cycling and he fell in love with mountains, but that doesn't mean he has a problem with other terrain, although cobblestones would have to be his weak point.
His younger brother, Pierre is also a keen roleur, the exact opposite or Sylvain, due to him hating losing to his brother in the mountains, but Pierre has unfortunately missed out on making the ability cut for the competition, so Sylvain will set out to right the wrong done to his family, keen and fast, Sylvain is a strong and light rider, who never gives up and always attacks on the bike.
Never discount Sylvain for the championships!
 Mitch Thompson (Age 18) / Jakstar22 / #USAProdigy
Mitch is an American rising star that has been cycling since before he was 5. He is a very talented climber and is also great in a time trial. Mitch dreams of being able to stand at the top of the podium of all three grand tours in one season.
 Marco Balducci (Age 21) / HuDCC / #ITAmateur
Balducci is a young Italian cyclist. He grew up near to Bettini's house and also his father was an amateur cyclist. Young Marco was near to bikes from his young age and he felt in love with cycling. So then he has only one goal in his life - to be a professional cyclist.
 Shaquille Sinclair (Age 22) / fjhoekie / #TheHottestThingOnWheels
Shaquille is a stereotype Jamaican guy. He loves smoking weed and relaxing all day long in the sun. His parents however didn't approve this way of living and forced him to start doing a proper sport, so no bobsledding...
Shaq always had a hidden love for speed, so it's no real surprise he decided to buy a bike and ride down the steepest hill at least once a day.
Lukas grew up as a big Winter Sports fan. In particular, his favourite event to watch was always the Parallel Giant Slalom event, where two snowboarders go head to head down a slope. Unfortunately Lukas was a hopeless snowboarder, so instead he found his talents on the bicycle. Riding for Team Vorarlberg, he has started to achieve some quite useful results on the road, including a strong showing at the most recent Tour de l'Avenir.
The announcement of this new head to head series really caught his attention as it captures the spirit of his favourite winter sport, and the opportunity to compete in this series is an ideal next step in his cycling career.
 José Alberto Juárez (Age 19) / Bikex / #EPICTraining
José Alberto Juárez turned last year pro with the EPIC team Netapp-Endura.
"Hi, I was already introduced by the team management. My name is José A. Juárez. I am from Atlixco, a small city 200 kms away from Ciudad de Mexico and for next year I got my first contract as a professional cyclist.
"German pro-continental team NetApp trusts in my abilities and my potential development. So far I took part in youth races in Mexico, of which I won a lot, especially time trials, that had hills in them, and uphill finishes. But as soon as the racing took place in the flat I had struggles to keep contact. Definitely something I will have to work on in the future."
 Alexander Lentolm (Age 18) / EwanWilson / #DistraughtNorwegian
Lentolm has faced trouble in his life especially after his parents died in the attack in Oslo back in 2011, but has come back and that has motivated for him to start cycling. He has come from a background of Cyclocross but feels he is more than capable on the road too!
 Christopherson Jepernackey (Age 22) / BBL312 / #CrazyCanadian
Christopherson is a crazy ass SOB who stole 4 bikes off of a group of 16 year olds in Toronto before his 8th birthday. Well eventually he learned to ride these bikes, and he realized that he could ride so fast that he could steal more bikes. However, he has decided to change his lifestyle and pursue racing, as he was captivated by professional cyclist's supposed head-butting and fisticuffs skill.

Season 1 / Rider Introductions
 Reagan Seperawski (Age 18) / jandal7 / #KiwiPole
Reagan may not be the best at the moment, but the Kiwi-Pole will be sure to develop into a real contender over the next 20 seasons, he hopes. For now he will push more talented opponents to the limit with his attacking style, and with him brings a small physique, great bike handling and a background in CX, so don't discount him on any terrain.
Danny never liked traditional cycling. So he wants to test himself in an individual sport, that way he can using his talent for his own advantage.
 Tigran Davidyan (Age 26) / Selwink / #PrivilegedOne
Tigran was born in Yerevan, and comes from a wealthy family. Being privileged he learned to ride a bike at a very young age. In the juniors he had trouble beating the others, but he kept on growing and after two insane years of development he has ready for the pros. He signed up for the head to head to prove his talent. He is the second oldest rider in the league.
 Chris Robinson (Age 18) / sammyt93 / #Translator
Chris was born to an English father and Sammarinese mother. After becoming the most promising junior in his small home nation of San Mariano he signed up for this new international competition to test his skills against better riders.
He hearing about the league on a family holiday to Venice when two English guys racing around the world told him all about it in return for him helping them translate a map of the city they'd just bought.
The almost infamous Erik Garner-Hammarling Jr. comes from a very strong bloodline of cyclists. His mother was a multiple world champion on the road. His father was a monument and GT stage winner in his time. Dozens of cycling relatives, many at the highest levels of the sport including a former Mens Elite World Road Race Champion.
Erik is ready to explode onto the scene and take the world by storm. He has incredible expectations to live up to and enormous pressures to perform. The H2H league gives him the chance to show off for the big names of the pro-peloton without risking it all by growing too fast too soon.
 Peter Pal (Age 27) / jaxika / #IronMan
Peter was born in Budapest. In his early years (age 6-14) he used to race in swimming competitions. After Laszlo Bodrogis great results in the TT World Championship, he started to train in cycling. On holiday in Australia he had a chance to compete in an Iron Man race just for fun.
Despite his weakness in the running competition he finished on the podium. After returning to Budapest, Pal had a conflict with hes swimming trainer, so after that he just focuses on cycling. He is oldest cyclist in the league.
 Plusvite de la Lumiere (Age 21) / matt17br / #FasterThanLight
Plusvite is in fact a talented punchy sprinter. His name literally means "faster than light". He grew up in Epinal, in the Vosges, and has always been a talented athlete. His grandfather, a former Renault-ELF team manager scouted him as a cyclist and he joined the local cycling team.
Nacer Bouhanni, who was casually in his same team, made him even more interested about cycling and his only goal was to be as good as him. Let's see if he will succeed, joining the brand new H2H league!
"My name is Oscar Erikson. I was born in Malmo 20 years ago, and ever since then I have loved cycling. My parents were very busy people, so from a young age if I wanted to go somewhere, I cycled. At first this just meant to school and back. However by the time I was a bit older I began to cycle across town or even between cities.
"When I was 15, I first started cycling just for fun. I would ride out into the mountains at the start of the day and not come back til it was dark. Unfortunately that wasn't long in the Nordic winter, but in the Summer I spent more time on the bike than on my feet.
"For about 3 years I have been taking part in small amateur races, winning some and being beaten in others, but I am yet to be picked up by any scouts of big teams. This is why I am joining this new league, so I can prove myself to the world and hopefully become a great cyclist."

Now that the schedule and races have been released it's time
to send in your cyclists initial stats to start the season with.
Send them in by PM to me using the form below.
| Cyclist Name: | | Conference: | | | Flat: | 60 | Resistance: | 60 | | Mountain: | 60 | Recovery: | 60 | | Hills: | 60 | Cobble: | 60 | | Downhill: | 60 | Fighting: | 60 | | TT: | 60 | Sprint: | 60 | | Stamina: | 60 | Acceleration: | 60 | | Prologue: | 60 | |
These stats will remain private for the entirety of the season.
The base stat is 60, you have to start there and can't go down.
The maximum is 99. You have 100 individual stat increase to use.
So, once you are finished, the total sum of the stats will be 880.
Every time your cyclist loses a head to head you gain 10 stats increases.
This will be added on by posting your stat increases on the thread during
the 48 hour period after the results have been posted for that week.

Is that Week 14 race really intended to be a TT?

@sammyt93: I thought that was only a problem in 3D mode?
@jaxika: I'll give you a few days, but the sooner they are all in the sooner the season starts.
@matt17br: Yes.
@All: You used to be able to chance stage type with an editor in previous PCMs, has that changed in PCM14? I can't seem to figure out how to change a RR into a TT.

You could change the classification from Flat to Hilly to Mountain with an editor, and mess with the HL/MO ratios. But RR or ITT classification is set in the stage file itself, so you need to change the actual stage file with the stage editor to make that change (afaik) rather than just messing in a db editor.
And the Cobbled-ITT problem is Simulation realted not 3D related. It crashes in Sim but works in 3D, you seem to have to mixed the other way around. Although it might work in Quick Sim in single race mode, probably worth testing.

You actually need the ZCTS stage file to do all of the changes you mentioned. I think PCM11 was the last time you could use the DB editor to change those values. In PCM12 you couldn't change them at all, but from PCM13 it is possible to change them in the Stage Editor.
There's plenty of ZCTS available in the Stage Database.

Now that I'm home from Uni...
Ah, that's a small problem since I picked all Cyanide stages. I might have to adjust a few of the races accordingly and I will let you know which ones change.
The integrity of the race will hopeful stay the same however. So if it's a short mountain RR than it will stay a short mountain RR just perhaps with a different slops and distance.
I'll take a look into the cobble stage as well and come up with a conclusion.
After the necessary changes are made I will allow you to resubmit your initial stats if you want to.
