O'Loughlin won the Irish National Championships so he will get to hold on to the jersey next year. His only real competition is his future teammate McCann.

Another big signing is the signing of this sprinter/cobbles rider. He will pick us up some good wins.

Then how did Slipstream get all those riders? How do any CT teams become any good. Your point is totally unvalid.

Slipstream got all their riders through an anti-doping programme and the persuasive skills of JV and the money of Doug Ellis
CT teams gradually get better generally by finding young talents or signing old or unwanted former PT riders - this raises publicity when they subsequently win more and encourages the sponsor to give them more funding - enabling them to buy better riders and so on. a team who's biggest win is the Tour of the Reservoir would take you no further than where you are now.
And the team is predominantly irish with a commonwealth tinge - not dutch or austrian

So what you are saying is I should make it realistic. Realistic would be this team never winning any races and never getting any better. Isn't that an exciting story.

This is our final signing that isn't a neo pro. He is Canadians U23 Road Race Champion and is fairly good in the mountains.

yep. AMAZING.
British Road Race Championship
Halfway through the stage Cavendish, Page, and Bellis were too strong from everyone else and got away from everyone else.
Page was dropped and Hammond was catching up so Bellis had to work hard to keep them away. Cavendish was too strong so there was no hope as Cavendish is the new British Road Race Champion.

The story is dead. The game crashes and I can't get passed it even though I have tried 1,000 times. I won't start anymore stories until PCM 08. I made it farther then any of my other stories and I was very excited. It sucks for the story to end. All though look foward to the 08 story.
