So I've now started my new career mode in 2013, the poll of whether to restart my BMC career or start a new Americas Team was close, with the Americas team winning by one vote.
So now I'm starting, having created Oracle Racing.
Basic info for the seasons, hard difficulty, no training camps, low rider progression, only long TTTs, etc.
That said there are objectives to this team. The first season I cannot get any rider that is already on a team. And all my riders for all season may only be from North or South America.

Currently its a 9-9 tie (I clicked BMC just so I could see the poll results, and my vote doesn't count). Finishing up the team kit in case Americas wins (otherwise I'll hold onto it until I get into the Man-Game.)

An American team, but more focussed on South-America than North-America, sounds nice to me
BMC is nice as well
Feyenoord(football) and Kelderman fanboy

Lol... just voted to make it 21vs21
One thing to note, whilst being clearly different in many aspects fro jseadog's, he is using an All American team, and that thus far there is no true Team Story using a real life team.

Primary Sponsor: Oracle
Oracle is a premier technology company, primarily known for creating Java, and has a background in racing sponsorship as they have been a sponsor in the Americas Cup, sailing competition.
Secondary Sponsor: Phillips 66
It seems weird to have an oil and gas company sponsoring bicycles, but Phillips 66 also has a deep background with sports. The company has been a big sponsor of the Big12 Conference (NCAA), and also sends a large team to the Houston-Austin MS150 each year.
Bike Sponsor: Trek
No stranger to the ranks of professional racing, the American Trek Bicycle is a key component to getting this team running and keeping our riders on the best bikes available.
Clothing Sponsor: Hincapie Sportsware
The long time cyclist should be a pretty safe bet in knowing what needs to be done to get proper kits on the riders. We are excited to have this company provide all of our jerseys and bibs for the team.
Airline Sponsor: Avianca
Avianca is formally a Columbian airline, but is now calling itself the Airline of the American Continent which fits perfectly for our goals and team, they also have several connections with other airlines, giving us a good ability to fly wherever we need.
Other Sponsors
Viacom: Media network, that includes poplar channels such as Comedy Central, MTV, BET, and Nickelodeon. Also includes Paramount Pictures.
Ambev: Originally a Brazilian Brewing company, but now is growing, the group includes Stella Artois and is a bottler for PepsiCo distributing drinks such as Pepsi, Lipton (Tea) and Gatorade.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Why???? I loved your BMC story. And I've followed like 2-3 stories about teams from the Americas. Kind of gets old.
But good luck anyway.
