Background; Peter is a rare breed amongst british cyclists, he's an out and out climber, and a good one at that, trouble was, he was so determined to be the best, he was willing to do anything in order to get there, following an EPO scandal, he recieved a 2 year suspension from racing, which wore off at the end of last season, not many teams were willing to sign the ex-doper, but he is determined to make it for real this time, and show the others that he's back, and going to be one of the top names in all kinds of mountain terrain, before his career draws to a close.

Background; Pete has been riding as a semi-pro for several years now, and now, having been scouted by Chevrolet-Telmex team he is getting his try out in the big leagues. For him, growing up, he has been spurred on by the success of other British riders in the world of cycling, and feels that in time, he can add his name to the pantheon of the great British cyclists. Admitting his inexperience at this point, his main goal is to soak up all the advice he can get and you can bet that he'll give 110% of all he has for the team.

Im waiting for the 2012DB before this gets under way. All the latest information will be on the posts above such as blogs, results, reports. So to keep up with the latest action it will all be in the first posts.
Every race will get a new post aswell, where the detail will be.
Each rider will post a blog very 3-4months (3-4 a year), and an interview every 6months wich will include any questions you want to ask.
At the end of the season this post will become the year in review post, where all our results, transfers etc can be found. The each new year will be added.
For the raaces there will be 2-3 pics from various stages, and follow the reporting style of my Kennaugh story.
Hope you like it and keep following the team!
All the remaining information will be done by the end of the week
