Haakon, a DOB of 30/06/87 means i'm 20. ;)
Not on 01/01/07, when the game starts. :p

Millar's won a world title but since he's since confessed to taking EPO during it, fair enough. I don't think the UCI recognises it any more. Track's a different beast altogether, so Wiggins is in.

Edit: Jamaica's not a nation in the game, unfortunately. Putting Rose in USA for the time being.

Ahh, fair beans. (y)

Millar got stripped of his world title so technically he's not won one.

Yes, I was ignorant in claiming 2 nations. I did it for a touch of realism due to one half of my family being from one and the other from the other. Although, does it bear any significance in the game?? It's probably a stupid question. Wait, no it is.

I'd still like an answer though... even if it's a stupid one :p

I'm pretty sure you can't do the dual nationality thing like you can with CM/FM.

It was agreed after many names were put forward. IIRC Bennetts Bank was mentioned amongst others. Basically it was thought we should name the team after a legendary CW member who probably won't take part.

Yep, afraid so. However, will be taken into account when selecting for races. (IIRC we're doing a few in the US.)
That's all I really wanted out of it anyway.

Here's a thought: have suggestions on colours/branding for the jersey and I'll attempt to create it in a drawing program.

imo, the most recent BOTM winner not involved in CW Cycling should be given naming rights.
