Hi! I hoping to make a story of fantasy rider (well, me actually ) with PCMDaily database (Ozzy's East Europe add-on) when it will be released.
I'll start a story right now anyway. Sorry for not good English, I really want to improve. And please, cast your vote in poll. I want to know what I need to improve in my story

My history.
I always liked to ride a bike. I ridden it every day I could and soon could not associate myself without bike. And when I was 11, I came to cycling school. I was not the best, because my main efforts were laid on education in normal school, then in the University. But when I was already in third course of University I realized, I want to be a cyclist, not an engineer.
I started to train hard. I done 100 km per day and soon became strong rider, one of the best in Penza. In that year I took part in my first race (well, I mean for result) - Stage race for Penza governor prizes (NE). I got one 3rd place there and of course, wanted more. I took part also in some another national races but did not gain any podiums. But my efforts were seen by team Premier (it was a Russian continental team) and next, 2005th year I started already as a professional.
Next two years I was between two sides of life - education in the University and racing. In 2006 I finished education and concentrated on riding on bicycle. That year I had won my first race. It was again Stage race for Penza governor prizes. I took two stages and overall victory. In that time I comprehended my specialty. In first years I was considered as a sprinter in case of my personality. But I never liked to go to gym and always was very light in weight. After winning 3rd stage of my home race I realized that I more climber than sprinter and all the time after that I tried to do as a climber.
In 2006 my contract was ended and when I came to my boss to resign it, he said to me, that he can offer me only one-year contract as main sponsor is going away and he does not know will he found another or not. I said that I don't want to be on non-continual contract and found another team to race in 2007-2008 years. It was Ritumu Bank - Riga, Latvian continental team that raced the same races that Premier did. In 2007 I had got two podiums but not a victories. I became stronger each month and in December Rabobank continental team asked me if I want to ride with them. Of course I wanted.
After some time Rabo CT had bought me and I became team-mate with my friend and city-mate, Evgeny Popov. It was my best and worst season. I started very good. In one sunny day I had gone with a breakaway that came to a finish. But that group came without me. I finished 20 second before them and had won my first big race. It was tour of Hout Var. After that I thought I can be promoted to Pro-tour team next year but it was extremely vice versa.
Winnig in style
13th of July 2008 I was shoked by knowing that my friend Denis Kudashev was killed in car accident while he was trained. I did not want to race after that and closed my cycling career. For half of a year I worked as journalist in "Sovetskiy Sport" newspaper and watched races on TV. But in December I realized that I want to ride my bike again. I called to Rabo CT but they did not want me to be back, so now I am looking for a team for next season.

First answers are starting to come. Nothing good. Liquigas and Barloworld are not interested in me. They say, they have some fighters in roster and don't want to have another one, who might quit in the middle of first season...

Ok, it seems that in my birthday I've got one invitation to the team. My first invitation this season. It's Rietumu Bank - Riga again. They said, I'll havee place in the team in any way if I would join them. I said, that I will think about it.
To be honest, I want to be in more strong team, so I'm gonna wait for some another offers.

Well, now it's time to choise. I have some offers from different teams:
Moscow
Lokomotiv
Heraklion
Sparta - Praha
ISD Donetsk (not an ISD-Neri)
and finnaly,
Loborika
They all promise me about 100000 rubles (2000-3000 euros) and high status. All the teams are planning to progress to continental pro team status in next two or three years and hope me to enforse their squads. Well, I don't know what to do. If you want, you can help me to choose a team.
Feel free to ask about terms of a contracts they offered me

I think you should stay in russia. Moscow or Lokomotiv. Lokomotiv had a really cool jersey a few years ago, btw. The one with the Ls |
