Hey guys, Teddy here.
As some might have noticed I kind of disappeared for a couple months, but I'm back! I currently have my Danny Teklahamanot story, which for some reason I don't really have much motivation for.  But...
A wild new story appears!
I think I will start a story in PCM12 (which looks pretty cool from the very limited info we have, especially that Cav face shot we got.), but I may do a little story first to get back into it. Anyway, I would love some feedback from you guys on what could be a unique story and maybe a response to a couple of my ideas..
 Richie Porte
As some may or may not have noticed, I had a Team Sky story planned for when the V1 DB was released. Well by the time it finally was I had lost interest in PCM and story-writing. While I'm not ready to write a full-on team story yet, I think a one-rider story with Mt. Porte would be great. He's an awesome candidate for me, since he seems to fit the bill perfectly. He's still relatively young (26), can compete with the best, and is AUSTRALIAN! Very tempting
Some Sort Of Challenge
I think another idea for a story before PCM 12 could be a relatively small one-rider or team story that follows just one or a few races, instead of a whole season. Kind of like mresuperstar's Andy Schleck, or Alakagom's Sky Giro story. What that would be based around is still up to anybody's imagination. Help?
Please give me some help as to if you'd be interested in either of these stories, or if you have any other ideas you'd like to share, please do!

Richie Porte would be great as a one rider story 
As for a Team story i would go for someone like Accent Jobs or Christina Watches, but that is just my personal view |

Very glad to see you back! 
You can't go wrong with Richie Porte, I think he'd be a lot of fun!
As for team story, maybe the "What if......Pegasus didn't fold" custom team idea?

Great to see you back at it!
In my opinion you should definitely have a go with Richie Porte as there's plenty of ways to go with it.
Were you to do a team story, I'd suggest a team which no-one has done yet, such as Lampre or Lotto from the Protour.
Another possible idea would be for a young rider in the Rabobank U23 squad such as Rick Zabel and take him into the protour. |

If I understood correctly, you look for a smaller story to come back into it at the moment, right? Then I'd definetely suggest that you do a challenge.
laidbackmarc once did a classics challenge with Philippe Gilbert, with the final goal of the Ardennes triple. He failed, you could try to do better.
What would be interesting as well imo is to try something big with one of the oldies. For instance, trying to win a Grand Tour with someone like Klöden or Vino once again, maybe including the preperations etc. as well.
You could also try to win all five monuments, although the only rider capable of that seems to be Fabian Cancellara, I think. You could also create a rider with the fitting attributes or boost Sagan's cobble stat or something.
Another possibility would be to start with a French conti team, try to achieve a wild card to the Tour and then do something special there.
I think for a re-entry, a challenge is the better way to go. And there are endless possibilities. I hope I could give you some inspiration.

You could try and win a Monument with GreenEdge gives you 5 chances relativly short but you can have very detailed reports plus there Australian! |

A fun challenge - win the five monuments with the same rider. |

Thanks for all the ideas people!
I like the idea of 5 monuments on one year, but I think with Cancellara or Gilbert being the only riders who could do it, and with my lack of amazing PCM skills, it could be an epic fail.
Also thanks to cunego especially for his awesome comment, and the idea of getting a rider like Kloden to win the Tour or something would be awesome.
Stay tuned peeps.

I will use this thread too.
Would you like a story about Cofidis? It's because I think they have lost some of their best riders.
So I just want to know. |

A Cofidis story could be a good fun challenge - establishing them in the WT
My main advice to you would be - Commit to YOUR choice of story, because it's you that has to write it, and the community will enjoy wherever your story goes!
My Exxon-Duke story I chose, and I'm loving it
My Youtube-Twitter Story was a group choice, and i lacked the solid commitment...

I think I'm going to see if anybody else would comment on it, before making the story. |

Which code do you use, when using imageshack. Is it the Forum code or the webside code? |
