Looking to test herself, Laura soon entered a local men’s criterium, but failed to finish when her bicycle malfunctioned. Still, a local bike shop owner was impressed by Laura’s performance and provided her a new bicycle for future races. Her list of victories in Réunion and African races won over the Selectors.

## Season 4

Charles

## Charles (Manager)

Charles is a former Manager and the creator of the VeloTour. He created the competition out of boredom and a desire to bring together friends from different parts of his life. He is the winner of Season 2.

## History

Charles did not enter a team into Season 1, citing his knowledge of Pro Cycling Manager's mechanics as an unfair advantage.

Following the retirement of James and non-participation of Grace and Ian in Season 2, Charles elected to enter a team to fill out the competition. His Botecchia-Ursus team dominated throughout, winning three Monuments and the Tour de France general classification on their way to the largest margin of victory in VeloTour history. Following Season 2, Charles elected to change the format of the competition to avoid a stale meta in Season 3.

Charles changed the competition to a snake draft format in Season 3 using a database of historical riders. He picked last (9th) in the first round of the snake draft. His Evian roster consisted of riders capable in all terrain, particularly in the hills, but were weak in sprints. Although the early season had many disappointing results in the classics, a strong mid-season stretch saw Evian ascend from 7th to 3rd. Despite team leader Andy Schleck finishing 2nd overall in the Tour de France with two stage wins, Evian lost ground on the top two teams to finish 3rd place in the final standings.

In order to make the draft more balanced and immersive for the Managers, Charles created a new database of fictional riders for Season 4. He chose not to participate as a Manager, instead recruiting new and returning Managers to compete.

## Trivia

* Charles is the main commentator on the VeloTour race broadcasts.
* He is responsible for nearly all VeloTour content.
* His Season 2 margin of victory is the largest in VeloTour history.
* Named his entire Season 2 team after *One Piece* characters. Is also a *Jujutsu Kaisen* fan.
* If he were a professional cyclist, Charles says he would be a *puncheur*.
* Primarily plays mid-lane in *League of Legends*, where his favorite champion is Irelia.
* Allegedly prone to sea-sickness.
* His favorite food is chocolate.
Emeric Alexander

Emeric Alexander is an amateur cyclist and maple syrup maker competing in Season 4 of the VeloTour for Sismic.

## Biography

Emeric is a fifth-generation maple syrup maker in rural Canada.  His great ambition was to win Edmonton’s most prestigious annual maple syrup competition, which he’d never won in 10 years of attending. The night before his 11th attempt, with his finest maple product yet, a rival competitor sabotaged Emeric’s car. Emeric was fortunate to be up early the next day and chose to cycle 145 kilometers to Edmonton carrying his syrup. He won the contest and promptly cycled back to Athabasca carrying his trophy. His exploits earned the adoration of Canadians, and the admiration of the VeloTour Selectors.

## Season 4

Alexander was an eighth round draft pick by Sismic.
Gus

## Gus (Manager)

Gus is a Manager in the VeloTour.

## History

Gus had a unique approach to his team composition in Season 1, building a dominant team for the sprints and classics. Superstar rider Jagoda Jarvis won several classics, Tour de France stages, and the mountains classification. The Bardiani-CSF team tussled for first place throughout the season, but narrowly lost out to James's AG2R La Mondiale after Paul Hewson won the Tour de France. Although he finished 2nd, many fans considered Gus's team the most exciting of that season.

His Season 2 approach was very similar, adding a slight emphasis to stage races. Other Managers adjusted to the new meta by creating riders that copied Jagoda Jarvis. Despite other Managers emulating his strategy, Gus's team was again dominant throughout the classics campaign and sat in 2nd place behind Charles's Botecchia-Ursus heading into the Tour de France. A dominant Tour de France performance saw Botecchia-Ursus cruise to the title, again leaving Gus's Garmin team in 2nd place.

With so much success in the sprints and classics, Gus adopted the strategy a third time in the Season 3 Draft. Although the season started well with Jan Raas winning Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Gus's Fiat team could not replicate their dominance from the prior two seasons. They were in 3rd place after Paris-Roubaix, but slipped to 5th after the Tour de Suisse, and then 7th after the Tour de France.

## Trivia

* Missed out on winning Season 1 by just 113 points, the closest margin in VeloTour history.
* The only Manager to finish in 2nd place twice.
* The only Manager to create female riders in Seasons 1 and 2.
* Known for building all of his teams around sprinters and classics riders.
* Loves golf and Busch Light.
* Only plays King K. Rool in *Super Smash Bros*.

Grace was invited to participate in Season 3, but declined.

Grace accepted an invitation to return in Season 4.

## Trivia

Of course, Dagoberto had to prove himself to the selectors, and made his case by upsetting Giovanni Canale to win Italy’s amateur time trial championship. With renewed motivation he’s prepared himself to realize his dream of riding the Giro. Dagoberto may not be a star rider of the VeloTour, but he still has something to offer as the oldest rider in the competition.

Like other managers, Will adjusted to the new Season 2 meta, but was less successful in emulating the dominant squads of Season 1. An average season with few highlights concluded with a 5th place finish.

Will's team, sponsored by Zulu Kingdom in Season 3, was a balanced squad built around their top draft pick Djamolidine Abdoujaparov. They were successful in the early-season classics with Eddy Planckaert and Abdoujaparov, lying in 3rd place after the early races. The middle part of the season went poorly as they lacked options for the hilly races and slipped to 7th place. Zulu Kingdom turned their season around in the Tour de France with a magnificent team performace: 3 stage wins and the green jersey for Abdoujaparov, 1 stage win and the polka dot jersey for Gert-Jan Theunisse, and a 5th place GC finish for Jan Ullrich. They finished the season 5th in the final standings, just 70 points behind 4th.

The Almond

## The Almond (Manager)

The Almond is a Manager in the VeloTour. VeloTour Wiki

## History

The Almond's Cofidis team (a.k.a THE ALMONDZ) was expected to be among the weakest in Season 1. However, they earned strong results in the classics to remain competitive. Star rider Chen Jun-Wei also won the mountains classification in the Tour de France. The team exceeded expectations to finish 5th place.

The next season was much worse as Cofidis could not recapture their occasional Season 1 magic. Their only victory was a stage in Tirreno-Adriatico, and the team performed very poorly after the cobbled classics. If not for Miles's historically awful Ferrys squad, Cofidis would have been last, but instead finished 8th place.

The Almond's unique approach to team-building was on full display during the Season 3 draft, forming a team that lacked star power but had great synergy. Now racing as Kelme, the team surprised in the classics and nearly pulled off a huge upset in the Ronde van Vlaanderen after sending 4 riders into the early breakaway. Stage race leader Bjarne Riis won Paris-Nice, the Tour de Suisse, and finished 3rd in the Tour de France to lead the team in scoring. Kelme hovered around 5th place for most of the season, but eventually finished 6th after losing a very close three-way battle for 4th place.

## Trivia

* The Almond has participated in every season of the VeloTour
* The only Manager to race with the same sponsor for multiple seasons.
* Has a Youtube channel (check out The Almond on YT!).

La **Princesa Usa** (ウサ姫さま, *Usa Hime*?), nombre completo **Usako Tokugawa**, es una Conejo Animaloid de 18 años, hija del shōgun Iei-Iei Tokugawa y gobernante no oficial de Edoropolis. Es llamada como Princesa Vi (nombre completo Violet) en los doblajes occidentales. Es bastante mimada, egoísta, insolente, superficial y temperamental. Tiene una tendencia a desterrar a todos los que la disgustan a la isla Pulpo Hachijojima (que en realidad es un paraíso tropical, pero ella no lo sabe) o, cuando la primera está demasiado llena, a la Isla de Extras. Ella piensa que sus maneras son la única manera (lo que causa problemas a todos y sus maneras no siempre sale como ella quiere).

La princesa Usa está dedicada a su madre ausente, donde su relación es muy inusual y dinámica: intentan golpearse cuando se reencuentran por primera vez. Se pone celosa cuando alguien más recibe más atención que ella. Hay algunos episodios en los que la princesa no es mala (como "Son of Big Cheese"), donde es amable con el bebé y no le importa dejar que el bebé dibuje sobre la cara del Shōgun.

## Apariencia

La princesa Usa tiene cabello rosado y ojos rojos. Mide 120 cm (3,9") de altura, pesa 35 kg (72,8 lbs.). Viste un kimono azul con símbolos de la luna.

## Curiosidades

* El personaje de la princesa Usa parece haber sido agregada muy tarde en el desarrollo, ya que ella no aparece en el manga *Kyatto Ninden Teyandee* de Yoshimi Hamada.
* Su nombre occidental en *Samurai Pizza Cats*, Princesa Vi, es una referencia a Diana, Princesa de Gales, cuyo apodo era Princesa Di.
* Al comienzo de la serie, la princesa Usa fue educada en casa. Ella estaba presumiblemente en un nivel de grado 12. Usa finalmente se graduó y comenzó a asistir a la Universidad de Edoropolis.
* Ella a veces empuña una Naginata cuando la amenazan.
* La introducción de *Kyatto Ninden Teyandee* presenta a Usa coqueteando tímidamente con Yattarō y Sukashī, lo que lleva a los dos a pelear por ella. Tal evento nunca sucede en la serie real donde los dos gatos tienden a tener más miedo de Usa y su ira.
* Al Dente y Seymour Cheese son los únicos que resistieron su comportamiento.
* Ella es el único personaje cuya edad se indica explícitamente en *Samurai Pizza Cats*.
* El kimono que ella luce es una referencia al conejo lunar en el folklore del Lejano Oriente. El conejo lunar es una figura mítica que vive en la luna.
* Una pieza de fanart que es confundida con una ilustración conceptual es una imagen de la princesa Usa con una armadura samurái del artista furry Junya Fujita.

Luis Sancho

VeloTour Wiki

Luis Sancho is a Spanish cyclist competing in Season 4 of the VeloTour for Alpha Tauri.

## Biography

Luis grew up in the shadow of Spain’s highest peaks, and his desire for adventure led to him working at the Sierra Nevada Ski Station. He grew bored of the long commute with multiple buses and cable cars, so he began cycling to work up the mountain. Cycling a 30-kilometer climb every workday made Luis a formidable *grimpeur* and he eventually entered a mountainous race to test his strength. A convincing victory inspired him to race throughout southern Spain, winning almost every course containing mountains. Luis Sancho is humble yet determined to restore the dominance of Spanish climbers in professional cycling.

## Season 4

Sancho was selected in the third round of the Season 4 Draft by Alpha Tauri.

Sancho rode aggressively in Tirreno-Adriatico, launching attacks on Stages 4 and 5. He rode away from the peloton with 53 kilometers to go on Stage 5 with teammate Levi Kennedy, but was caught with 20 kilometers remaining after teams in the peloton chased together. Poor performances in the Stage 1 team time trial and Stage 7 individual time trial saw Sancho finish 9th in the general classification.

**Karamaru** (カラ丸, *Karamaru*), también conocido en los doblajes como **Pájaro Malo** (*Bad Bird*) o **Pajaro Bueno** (*Good Bird*), es el ex tercero al mando de los Cuervos Ninja. También es el principal rival de Yattarō. Su mayor ambición es ser tan malvado y poderoso como su padre (que fue el Pájaro Malo o Dirty Bird original). Lleva a cabo la mayoría de los planes de Kitsunezuka para convertirse en emperador o derrotar a los Pizza Cats. A veces espía a Kitsunezuka cuando habla con Gennarisai sobre su último plan. Karamaru casi ha derrotado a los Pizza Cats varias veces. Las razones principales por las que falla son porque Kitsunezuka, Gennarisai, los Cuervos Ninja o los robots arruinan los planes, pero también ha sido derrotado incluso cuando luchó solo contra los Pizza Cats.

## Apariencia

Karamaru viste una armadura verde oscuro. Mide 140 cm (4,6 ") de alto, pesa 40 kg (110 libras). Generalmente viste un atuendo de monje japonés (un atuendo con un gran sombrero de paja cónico) cuando sale fuera, pero también ha usado otros disfraces.

## Curiosidades

* Es uno de los pocos villanos que nunca se ha tenido cross-dressing en toda la serie.
* Él, Okara y Kitsunezuka fueron los únicos personajes que se vieron cuando eran niños.
* Karamaru originalmente iba a usar una armadura negra en lugar de verde en el producto final, como se muestra durante el manga *Kyatto Ninden Teyandee* de Yoshimi Hamada. Curiosamente, si usa una armadura negra en los cómics de Saban Powerhouse.
* Uno de los alumnos de Karamaru en la versión japonesa original del episodio "The Nuclear Potato" se cambió en la versión de *Samurai Pizza Cats* para occidente indicando que sería una versión más joven de Karamaru.
	+ Esto eventualmente resultaría en un error de continuidad cuando la versión juvenil real de Karamaru aparece por primera vez en el episodio "All You Need is Love".
* Karamaru es el enemigo jefe final del videojuego para Famicom.
* En la versión occidental, se menciona varias veces que Bad Bird tienes sesiones con un terapeuta de manera regular.
* En la versión occidental, no se especifica si la pizzería de Bad Bird es una cadena de restaurantes diferente a Pizza Cats o no. Speedy llega a decir "Te conseguí este trabajo como chico-cuervo", pero es posible que haya querido decir que ayudó a hablar bien de Bad Bird en Little Tokyo o algo similar.

He suffered for weeks on the bike, but his steady improvements motivated him to push harder and harder.

That all changed when he used his mother’s Peloton bike for the first time. Drawn in by the catchy music and buff instructors, Jeff was smashing Peloton power records within weeks. A rider with such rare Watts per kilo couldn’t be ignored by the Selectors. Jeff has minimal road experience in preparation for the VeloTour, but his raw talent alone will make him a coveted rider.

His rage boiled over following Arsenal’s 0-3 loss to Canvey Island in the FA Cup. Otis rode as fast as he could until the despair left his body, reaching the north of Scotland before he passed out. His actions were deemed heroic by fellow Arsenal fans, who sponsored him in the British time trial championships. By achieving victory in that event, this depressed soccer fan parlayed sorrow into success.

## History

Charlie was initially focused on stage racers in the Season 3 draft, but could not resist selecting superstar sprinter Mario Cipollini in the first round. He also drafted two of the best climbers in Andrew Hampsten and Pedro Delgado for his Ceramicas team.

A revival in the Tour de France saw them win the Tour's team classification. but they still finished 9th and last in Season 3.

## Trivia

* Introduced Charles to pro cycling when Charles was very small.
* A fan of riders with great panache like Mario Cipollini, Claudio Chiapucci, and Thomas Voeckler.

Ernesto Martinez

VeloTour Wiki

Ernesto Martinez is a Colombian cyclist competing in Season 4 of the VeloTour for Kyoto.

## Biography

Ernesto is the most prolific amateur sprinter in Colombia, winning the points jersey in the Vuelta a Colombia five times in succession. That streak was broken by Katarina Beltrán’s breakout performance last year, and Ernesto took it as a reality check to improve. He returned to dominance by winning the Colombian road championships. However, he was foiled again by a Beltrán breakaway in the Medellín Classic, and a rivalry ignited between them. This rivalry between man and woman is perhaps the most intriguing in amateur cycling and the Selectors couldn’t help but bring both to the VeloTour.

## Season 4

Martinez was selected by Kyoto in the Season 4 Draft.
