My Career
I am an amateur rider in Bermuda, a lovely island in the Atlantic. Since I was a very small child I have been riding, it's the only thing I can do. I don't care whether it's cobbles, the flat, hills or even mountains, I'll be there! In Bermuda it's hard to get noticed, but one day.... The big contract came. I was going to Sky...
Spoiler This is a new and probably a bit controversial story. There will be a reveal of sorts later where the title will change, so bear with me for that, even if you are put off at the moment.

Wow, a Bermudian(right?) rider. Sounds good! Shame it's Sky

My Role
However I am not like most cyclists at Sky. Unlike them I can ride decently over all terrain, no standout points. The DS has told me that I am perfect for domestique work, and as such he'll send me to every monument and the Tour as a domestique! This is amazing, the moment I've been waiting for. I even got them to write it as a clause in my contract. Now they must stick with it. It's a dream come true.
But I also have a secret, an ulterior motive I probably shouldn't tell the DS.
Spoiler I know it has a weird start, but bear with me |

Ok, so ... your own, personal goal is to ruin Sky's chances in every important race by ... secretly injecting everyone dope? randomly crashing into the leaders? I have a feeling this might not become the ordinary kind of story

The start seems interesting, hope you aren't as stupid as with the previous story (no offence).
Good luck!

@24sebaf1: Thanks
@Sutty: It's mainly because quite a lot of this was pre-planned, so it's easy to knock out a few episodes.
@Luis Leon Sanchez:Thanks, and I'll try not to
@Matthew21rp: Thanks
@Cunego59: There's no fooling you is there? See below
@Selwink: None taken, it was pretty stupid Thanks
Well, that's the most of those I've ever had to write
Operation Take Down
You see... Sky aren't the only team to have offered me a contract. And the other one sounded quite a bit better. As you all well know, Sky is not one of the best liked teams in the peleton. A lot of people are very bitter at their success, and want them gone. Some even accuse them of doping.
As such I was hired by an independant party, who was interested in a certain 'anonymous' team. That is all I can tell you for now...

@Cycleman: Hopefully I'll give you plenty more laughs!
@Luis Leon Sanchez: Thanks, hopefully you'll stay with things.
@Sutty: Some how I think you might be right.
@Dippo and Admir: Thank you very much.
@Welker: I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not
