Okay guys, you might have heard the news, but I figured out a way to get PCM 11 to work, so I don't think I'll ever touch PCM10 again 
Now after seeing the success of Alakagom's thread a few weeks ago, and me being in a similar situation, I thought. "why not make a thread to see what others think!".
I know the PCM.daily db is still a few weeks away, but I want to get a head start on my decision.
There are also quite a few teams, I would pick almost for certain if it wasn't for the fact their jersey hasn't been released yet.
Now I'll go over the teams I have been considering:
Garmin
I think the reason is obvious. My favourite rider, and a very North American team that can compete in any terrain. They have also always had very nice jerseys, in all their years, so I dont expect that to change.
Greenedge
Well, I really like the team. They have Keukeleire, Beppu and Teklehaimanot a few of my favourite riders, as well as two very good youngsters, Hepburn and Durbridge. They are filled with sprinters, they can do alright in the classics thanks to Gerrans, and they also have Tuft. The only question is how tolerable will the jerseys be, and how many Greenedge stories would come before and after mine?
Astana
Astana stand out with their Blue/Turquoise/Teal jerseys, and I've always liked them. Astana has added quite a few riders that really appeal to me as a story writer like Brajkovic, Silin, Bozic, and Seeldraeyers. Along with Kreuziger who usually grows into one of the best Stage Racers in the PCM.daily db's this team could be quite enjoyable, and its a less-common team for stories, but I've never been sure why? They could be a lot of fun!
Katusha
Their new jerseys are quite amazing, imo and I'm a jersey guy! Plus they have a cool team with lots of good riders!
Lotto - Belisol
They could be fun, and with Gilbert departing, that could make way for a very interesting storyline at the beginning of the season.
Vacansoleil
One of my favourite teams, with a very nice jersey, and a fun attacking team.
So thats it guys. You help me decide, and thanks for taking the time to vote, or comment if you chose to do so!

I voted for Katusha, I love the jersey, and the team is strong with a nice group of old stars.
I loved your past stories, so I can't wait. I hope you don't do Astana as I was planning on starting one around them, and I can't compete with a vet like you, but it's up to you.
Good luck.

I voted for Vacansoleil, just because there isn't any story of Vacansoleil on PCMDaily! Well, what team it is going to be, good luck! |

I've voted for Astana, as I've never seen an Astana jersey and I think it's a quite challenging team, especially for the hills and mountains (and sprints).

Nice to see your game finally works. Have fun.
Would have voted Astana, but since Teddy just started a story with them, I voted Vacansoleil instead.
As you said cool team, with some of my favourite riders like Marcato and Hoogerland. And of course, above all - Gustav Larsson
But I'm sure the story will be a great one no matter what your choice is. I'm just glad to see you're starting one. Good luck.

My vote goes for Vacansoleil. They have so many great riders for the different types of terrain... Hoogerland, Marcato, Leukemans (is he still there? ), van Hummel, and even young riders with potential like Valls and Denifl. |

Thanks everyone for the votes! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy my stories, but I think I've decided on a team.
I think the team I will be choosing will be lots of fun, because they are hardly chosen, and they have great jerseys.

Can't believe that you didn't choose the team with the most votes
But good luck with the Russians anyway |

Well Katusha was winning when I went to bed, so I slept on it, and decided that they would be an awesome team. I wanted to wait longer, but I wanted to be sure, I would be the first to start a Katusha thread, in quite a long time, I think.
