So, as some of you might now, I ended my KLM story. It was fun, but I had no motivation anymore.
But I have some good news:
I'll start a new story soon!
Best thing about it:
You may choose which team! Vote your favorite and tell me why I should choose that team!
Information:
Spoiler Team Red Bull
Austrian-American team, will try to promote to the UCI World Tour next season
Glava Insolasjon - Mesterhus
Norwegian based Scandinavian team, will try to grow stronger and promote in two seasons
Vacansoleil - DCM
Dutch team, will try to stay in the UCI World Tour
Colombia - Coldeportes
Colombian team, has a lot of potential and wants to ride a good Vuelta
Euskatel - Euskadi
The Basques will go for the win in the Giro and Vuelta and will try to find some new Basque talents
Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator
The Flemish team will try to get some solid results in the domestic classics and eventually promote. They have a youth team, Jong Vlaanderen, to scout new talents
Astana Pro Team
The Kazakh want one last season with leader Vinokourov, and will try to find someone to replace him when he retires. Or have they already found a replacement?

ASTANA, of course.
The Kazakhs have the 2nd largest budget of the pack, behind only BMC. This and some of the riders who already have, gives you the ability to assemble a dream team.
I want to add that this is a very complete team, with chances in the sprint, the cobblestone, the hills, the mountains ... and also YOUR EQUIPMENT IS REALLY NICE!
I hope that you decide on the blue eagles and bring us infinity of success.

It's very close up to now!
tmoblie, good point, and baia I was thinking exactly the same, would also be a good opportunity to train my cobble-skills. I don't have any cobble skills at the moment.
I also see there are a lot of votes for Glava, I would like to do a story with them. They have a nice jersey (yes, I made it myself, and I'm proud of it, take a look in my graphics thread), and I think I already know how the team's gonna look like (Nordhaug, Quaade).
Also Euskatel and Red Bull are doing good, which also makes me happy.
Keep the voting going guys!

Euskaltel because:
-can win Giro with Samy Sanchez
-can win Vuelta with Igor Anton
-can win one of the ardenees classic with Samy or Anton
-can win Vuelta al Pais Vasco(very important race for EE) with Samy
-can win mountain stage with riders like Nieve,Verdugo,Txurukka,Martinez
-can win the MO Jersey in Grand Tour with Nieve
-Landa is a future superstar |

I think Euskaltel would be a great choice, as there wasn´t any story about them for a long time. So I would like to see them. |

I like Euskaltel. They would be the most interesting choice, and it could be the last year that they are one of the coolest teams in the world.

About Euskatel, I already have a career with Euskatel with PCMDaily 2012 DB V1, I'm in April now. I will finish that year and most likely start the story in January 2013, so in a few weeks. I am really enjoying this career and I already have big news!
But keep the voting on guys! If you would like to see other teams, show it!
My personal top 3 atm is
1) Euskatel
2) Glava Insolasjon - Mesterhus
3) Astana
So I am quite happy with the poll up to now!

I'd love to see Astana, they have a good all around side, and ther hasn't been a story about them for ages (ever?)
