Well, since these posts have raised this thread from a nearly 2-month sleep, I was just wondering if the story will happen. The latest PCMDaily DB includs MTN ya know
I already played a bit, but I rather cumulate some reports before posting them, making sure I won't stop in February

Indeed, I just couldn't get PCM2012 to work stable on my laptop anymore since my fan broke twice.
Giving it a new try with fixed laptop and 2013db when I find time between or after exams.
Probably MTN again with their new German department, maybe AG2R or NetApp though.

A little out of context but when i start seeing pictures of white guys on this African team i immediately reminded that Christopher Froome is african and he actually raced the 2006 worlds for Kenya.
Wikipedia says that...
"Born in Nairobi, Kenya, Froome moved with his family to South Africa as a 14 year-old...It was in South Africa that Froome started to participate in road cycling. It was not until he was 22 until he turned professional, regarded as a late age to turn professional for a successful road cyclist.
Froome turned professional in 2007 with the South African Team Konica Minolta, and was introduced to Team Barloworld by Robbie Hunter, joining them for the 2008 season, and was named in their team for the 2008 Tour de France, in which he finished 84th overall and 12th among the young riders' category.
His performances in 2008 attracted the attention of British Cycling coach, Rod Ellingworth who believed Froome had potential. Froome said: "Although I was riding under the Kenyan flag I made it clear that I had always carried a British passport and felt British."
So, he's now British but it could be an idea to include him on an african team and settle his nationality to kenyan |

I hope you do MTN again, they're a nice team Plus, they are PCT in 2013 so that means they have their own team-specific equipment in the PCMDaily DB if you'll use that one. Talk about cool
