We are kicking around the idea of having a page of interview questions on. Like a form that we could send a link to and try and get pro cyclists to answer the questions and submit the form.
Then I would take the answers and make a page for that athlete with maybe a picture or two and post it here on PCMDaily.com.
So first we need to come up with a list of good questions to ask. One obvious one would be "Have you heard of the Pro Cycling Manager computer game and if so do you play the game?"
List some good questions here in this thread. And anyone that has contact info for any riders, please leave the info here or PM me with it. An email address or facebook page of the athlete, manager, sponsor, team would probably be a start.
Thanks,
DW |

If they do know it, then ask:
"Do you think your stats are good enough?" |

For stats, first you need to explain what the stats are, what the scales of the stats are, what other riders have etc.
Don't think it's a good idea.
Most questions should vary for every rider though. There could be a few fixed questions, of course.

I said if they knew the game. |

I heard Sep Vanmarcke plays [PCM. Does anyone know if there is truth to that?

I'd start with some CT and PCT guys, as there's almost no way that the WT riders are going to find time for this.
Really liking the idea, tho!

Well, do not underestimate the power of a 95.000 community. Plus, it's just filling in a list of questions, not an actual interview.
We should have a chance with Brajkovic at least.

Not sure how part of that statement is true though. On PCM-Portugal, a few of the members have actually gotten an interview with Lampre's DD and also with Ian Boswell and a couple of riders from the PCT and CT.
So, it is possible. |

Some 9 odd years ago I got Voeckler then Vino on the phone for PCM.Spain, so yes, it's possible.
I wouldn't do Vino again though, not even for money. |

I think too many people here think cyclists are bit like 'fooballers'. They aren't. Most of them will respond to you on twitter.

Anyone who's been to a cycling race knows this. You can always find someone who's happy to say something

I'd be more than happy if you prove me wrong with an interview of a popular cyclist.

First questions for Dan Martin. Do you enjoy crashing because you're doing it a lot lately? You do realise that you could have won the Amstel Gold Race had you not taken a tumble?

Amstel wasn't his target and not even a notable crash.

I assume we're talking about LBL here.
Either way, I'd love to try contacting Herklotz if there's interest (obviously I'll only send in my own questions ).
