Hello, I am Tanē Tanahuiata, and this is my vision for the future of New Zealand Cycling.
With me here I have Julian Dean and America's Cup yachtsman, World Champion and Olympian, the man with the idea back in 2011, Carl Williams!
We have a goal, that goal is by 2017 to secure promotion and get a wildcard to Le Tour de France! We will become the first-ever Kiwi World Tour Team!
Spoiler DB: PCM.daily 2015 DB
This will be a story following Manager Tanē Tanahuiata, Custom Rider Josiah Bennett, Climber George Bennett, TTer Jesse Sergent and will have occasional updates from other riders. My main inspirations for the story are Pinktay's the Famous(?) Five and Shonak's aCross the Road: Mud, Sweat and Gears, because hopefully I will be inserting a CX element later on. This won't be all about the racing, as I have a couple of storylines I will implement. Until the season begins I will post the odd update from our main characters. I hope you enjoy, I am open for constructive criticism, and feel free to post!

@sutty thanks, they will be a bit slower-moving, but I think I can handle it!
@Jakstar thanks, they originally started in 2011 in the Continental Tour with aim for TDF Wildcrad 2015 and to compete in the WT eventually.
@jdog Thanks, I will

@trekbmc thanks!
Hello, I am pleased to announced we have struck deals with:
  Subway was the sponsor of the most famous Kiwi pro team, and have agreed to be a major sponsor again. Though it is the NZ branch, they give us a view to the US as well.
Xero gave a surprisingly resounding yes when we approached them, one of the World's fastest growing companies helps boost us here and them overseas, so it is a great bargain for all parties.
A third major deal is yet to be struck, one company is wondering how much to invest, the other whether to invest at all.
Air New Zealand and the rest of Star Alliance will be our airline sponsor, and the Government has backed us 100% with this venture.
Spark & Z will be small sponsors for us.
That's all for now, but I can reveal we are looking for an Australian sponsor and a European one!
Actually, to all our supporters, do you have any suggestions?

Two stories at once from a member who's been here a month... that's a bold move, let's see if it pays off!
Best of luck mate, but won't that team be insanely OP for CT? ^^

They could all give a little bit of money.

@Dippo indeed, however they will both be slow-burning. PBR will be PCT this time around, and the sponsors won't give a huge load of money until WT, the budget will be around average for the PCT.

After deals were discussed with all the 'big three' (Rip Curl, Quiksilver and Billabong) we finally struck a major deal with  Rip Curl , personally my least favorite but they had a very generous man who supports both Trek and BMC and wanted to be a part of a team that would hopefully race alongside them. Thanks a lot!
We are close to a deal with a European sponsor, so watch this space!
