When? When will you do it? You've left people hanging for a long time. You had reasons then, but what about now? What's gone wrong?

Spoiler
This story is nearing the 3-month mark, and still no action yet. But it's okay, there is still plenty of news to inform you guys of, and this post will summarize the first 17 pages in one post. Just the important parts.
Of course, I, like many others, am waiting for the PCM.Daily Database!!
PART 1. The Beginnings
After a failed attempt to put together a team last year, the United States of America has decided that another cycling team would be an excellent idea!
Let me explain what happened, We only made it to the end of February, and our funds were running way too low, we started too early, didn't have enough money to register for future races, it was a total disaster! This time we definitely have the money and need some sponsors to create our next great United States cycling team!!
The team is going to try to limit itself to those from USA, Mexico & Canada.
This now meant the search for a sponsor, jersey, and riders!
PART 2. SPONSORS & JERSEYS:
First, we announced the SECONDARY SPONSORS, which would be Powerade and M&M's
The search was then on for a Primary Sponsor, which was eventually revealed to be Sunkist, a manufacturer of soda pop!
We were now searching for a jersey that would best fit the team. This is where we had our first survey, which let the viewers decide which jersey, out of 3, that i would use in my story for the first year. Here is the winner:
And of course, the NC jerseys for USA, Canada & Mexico!
PART 3. Roster
The riders, the most important ingredient in a good team, now has to be decided on. We announced that Lance Armstrong would be the first rider on the team, taking on a part time role, for just 1 year. That also led us to our second survey, which asked how many young riders you wanted to see on the team this year. The result was 5-6, so thats what we went with. Without further ado, here is the team roster:
# | RIDER | NATION | CONTRACT | OVERALL | AGE | 1. | Lance Armstrong | | $17,050 | 74 | 40 | 2. | Levi Leipheimer | | $85,250 | 76 | 38 | 3. | Tom Danielson | | $48,825 | 75 | 34 | 4. | Christopher Horner | | $39,525 | 76 | 40 | 5. | Taylor Phinney | | $4,650 | 67 | 22 | 6. | Andrew Talansky | | $10,850 | 69 | 23 | 7. | Jake Keough | | $6,975 | 68 | 25 | 8. | Brent Bookwalter | | $4,263 | 61 | 28 | 9. | Cameron Evans | | $3,488 | 63 | 27 | 10. | Lawson Croddock | | $3,100 | 61 | 20 | 11. | David Veilleux | | $4,650 | 67 | 24 | 12. | Guillaume Boivin | | $6,975 | 68 | 23 | 13. | Ryan Anderson | | $3,100 | 63 | 24 | 14. | Keven Lacombe | | $6,975 | 68 | 26 | 15. | Hugo Houle | | $4,263 | 66 | 21 | 16. | Svein Tuft | | $9,300 | 70 | 35 | 17. | Dominique Rollin | | $5,813 | 70 | 29 | 18. | Bernardo Colex Tepoz | | $3,100 | 62 | 28 | 19. | Flavio De Luna | | $3,100 | 61 | 22 |
PART 4. THE REMAINING FACTORS AND ROAD AHEAD
So now what!? Well I put up my third and final survey, asking if I should put the teams home race, the Tour of Pennsylvania into the database. The vote was a unanimous yes, and was also chosen to be held during the Tour de France, for riders who are not fortunate enough to make the trip to France. July 2nd it will start!
The Road Ahead will now be up to the team, as they have been training very hard as we have seen from numerous reports from the teams CEO, Mr Clark, and assistant of day-to-day operations, Mr. Belko.
We hope you check us out again in the coming weeks, as the action finally gets underway. Its been 3 months, but trust me, it will be worth the wait!
Here are the best riders of the squad:
Now I would like you guys to help me!
You guys are going to help me manage this squad, give me some pointers on who you would race in each race, and fill my January calender for me.
Thank you, and I TOLD YOU THIS STORY WOULD HAPPEN!

Send Boivin and Keough to the TDU. Leipheimer lead at San Luis.

This is happening now. Awesome. I think you should concentrate on the GC of TdU and in San Luis the sprints. So, send Boivin to San Luis and Horner to TdU. |

I picked San Luis, because I don't think winning bTDU should be you focus. I think you should use it as sprinting oppurtunities and early season reps for Boivin and Keough. With San Luis, just going in with Levi and wiping the windshield should be it.

I would say San Luis. TDU is hills, without TT. Since TT is a strong point of the team, and San Luis got one, it's better to aim for San Luis of course

San Luis as i thought you were PCT and that is guaranteed lots of points
TDU just go for BOTD's as none of the sprinters can get a stage win (under normal circumstances)
and who cares about some french race

But we have no chance of winning it, and as PCT that won't help us in the CT rankings anyway.
