Hi guys, I'm Vernie Kunze. About 6 months ago we set up a team aimed at promoting young riders into the sport through a clean system. Due to doping problems in the team I quit.
I'm planning on starting up a new team, and I'm in talks with some of the old riders from Playboy Project II https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....d_id=25088, as well as some new faces.
However, funds are limited, and I need help to get the team off the ground. If we can generate enough interest then we might be able to gain sponsorship with which to launch the team into a new season. Any response you could give me would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Vernie Kunze
Directeur Sportif: Team TBA

As of yet we have signed two sponsors for the year ahead. These are Santé magasine, who will be our major sponsor, and Val D'Isere, who will sponsor us in order to promote summer cycling in the Alpes. Both companies have placed strong emphasis on clean racing, and we will attempt to deliver for them.

Spoiler Here's a challenge, tell me what "Big" cycling company Santé is related to (clue the team stopped in 2008)(you might get to name a rider, so long as it's a good name) also, I'm going to custom make the riders/jersey/team so the career probably won't be up tonight

Sponsor Update
Santé is a magasine published by Uni-Edition, which is owned by Credit Agricole. Credit Agricole have chosen to fund us in a renewed attempt to enter the echelons of cycling. The more cynical members of my squad (Tommeke Thommikksen) think they're using Sante as collateral, either way. Yes, Credit Agricole is the Company.
Spoiler SSJ2Luigi, fcancellara, you both guessed right! The guesses were so close together I'll let both of you choose a rider (the names HAVE to be fantastic!)
fcancellara and SSJ2Luigi have been contracted as scouts to the new team. |

We proudly present!
Sante - Val D'Isere
With sponsors on board, and a rudimentary budget set, we can set about scouting and signing riders.
We hope to sign a core from Playboy Project II, but are following a number of other leads in U23 competitions throughout the world.

Funny fact: in South Korea, surnames come first, so there, Dick's name would be Lill Dick.
Also, together with North Korea, South Korean males have, on average, the smallest pen15es in the world. Not that this has anything to do with things said above.

I broke down at Atli Atlilissun
Kunze Voices Excitement at Year Ahead
I'm delighted to welcome these 30 exceptional young talents into the fold at Sante - Val D'Isere. Some of them have been racing for a year and can, we think, step straight up to the fore this year. Particular notice should perhaps be paid to Manfred Sys, Edik Komalchevskiy and Øle Høle, a trio to be reckoned with over sprints, cobbles and hills.
Amongst the youngsters, there is plenty of promise. The team is well rounded and we shall attempt to be prominent throughout the season. Allowing our riders to develop however, is our priority, and we will do our utmost not to pressure them.
