+1 to Flat, it's still very low.
Great story so far, it will be interesting to see how he develops!  |

Won't he develop a bit too fast if he develops every race? Or maybe he won't get too much points in bigger races. |

Well for now he is only doing 1 race per month so expect huge gains. But once we get into career mode with more races per month the points will be harder to come by. Plus his age will play a role into the way I give away points as well.

I have to say that I'm a lot like Ozzy in this sense. I was initially going to do a team story simply because a rider story seemed to hard, but reading this I've been inspired to at least give it a shot. In fact, went I told my brother he thought I was lying and I was only doing it to win New Member of the year  (which btw isn't true, I actually didn't even know there was such an award until yesterday ). Hope you keep this up and Travis becomes the next Eddy Merckx or however you spell it . |

My 4th race since I return to cycling and
I'm feeling great after my win last month in May.
--- *** --- *** --- *** ---
150kms of racing with a mountain top finish on Mt. Diablo to crown a winner.
We pick up the action starting the final climb as I attack.
The morning breakaway of 5 is already in sight.
And I catch them just a few kilometers into the climb.
I wasn't going to drag them up the climb so
I quickly move past them and into the lead.
5kms to go and I have nice cushion between the breakaway and the peloton.
The breakaway is caught but I'm still going strong.
The massive support on the climb really motivates me to keep turning my legs.
I peek over my shoulder and another rider has broken away from the peloton.
500 meters left! Could it be back to back wins?
Another look back...
Victory is mine, this time I did it out of the peloton. No heartbreak 2nd this time.
What a great feeling! Life is good.
Back to back maximum EXP/Form points for back to back wins.
A very special race for July as Bissell is flying me out to Paris and sponsoring
me to ride in their colors in a replica of stage 21 of the Tour de France
a day before the professionals come through to finish off their 3 weeks of racing.
I can't wait to ride on the Champs Elysees. Hope I can make Bissell proud.
Spoiler
My training is now in your hands for the rest of my career.
After each race I can receive both EXP and Form Points.
EXP is a permanent stat gains while Form is temporary (the next race/stage).
A maximum of 3 EXP and 5 Form can be rewarded after each stage.
After any stage I receive EXP or Form points
you guys get to decided where I put those stat gains to use.
All you have to do is comment on which category you want
1 of the stat gains to go (Ex. Mountain, Sprint, Flat, etc.)
The EXP points are used up first followed by the Form.
Each member can only say one category for themselves.
And it will go until all the points are used up.
If you have any questions about my training, leave a question below.
It looks confusing at first but it's rather simple,
and this will be the only method for me to progress talent wise.
