Levi is overpayed and Phinney is underpaid!

It seems like riders are being signed left and right now, and this time we have 2 more Americans & 2 more Canadians. There ages range from 21-26, so we have some fairly young talent on the team.
Lets start with the Canadians. the first one is another one that joined Svein Tuft on the M&M's squad that failed. Keven Lacombe has joined the team, and hopes to make a big impact early on.
The other is the youngest rider on the team thus far, and is none other than Hugo Houle!!
Now for the Americans, the first one is a fan favorite, and was asked by many of the fans to be added to the squad. Well here he is, Jake Keough.
23 year old Andrew Talansky comes up next, and is said to be the biggest one influenced by Armstrong. Either him or David Zabriskie was going to be signed, and it came down to age this time. Zabriskie was on the M&M's squad a while back. Talansky had no interest according to reports, until Armstrong & Horner were signed.
ROSTER AS OF NOW.
| # | RIDER | NATION | CONTRACT | OVERALL | AGE | | 1. | Lance Armstrong | | $17,050 | 74 | 40 | | 2. | Levi Leipheimer | | $85,250 | 76 | 38 | | 3. | Tom Danielson | | $48,825 | 75 | 34 | | 4. | Christopher Horner | | $39,525 | 76 | 40 | | 5. | Taylor Phinney | | $4,650 | 67 | 22 | | 6. | Andrew Talansky | | $10,850 | 69 | 23 | | 7. | Jake Keough | | $6,975 | 68 | 25 | | 8. | Keven Lacombe | | $6,975 | 68 | 26 | | 9. | Hugo Houle | | $4,263 | 66 | 21 | | 10. | Svein Tuft | | $9,300 | 70 | 35 | | 11. | Dominique Rollin | | $5,813 | 70 | 29 | | 12. | Bernardo Colex Tepoz | | $3,100 | 62 | 28 | | 13. | Flavio De Luna | | $3,100 | 61 | 22 |
There are only a few more spots left on the squad, and then the rest will go to American Amateurs.

Phinney a future GT Champion? 
I say no more leaders from here. Work on more TT specialists, guys for the flat, and some climbers like Ryan Roth.

The team has signed 2 more riders, 1 American & 1 Canadian.
The Canadian is Ryan Anderson, 24 years of age. He should be a good leadout guy for the team and have some other essential attributes that will help the team.
American Brent Bookwalter has also joined the team, and will be a strong time trial rider for the team. One of the best time trial riders signed and a fairly good flat rider, his mountain skills leave to be desired, however, he should be able to help the team out.
Here is the current 15 rider roster:
| # | RIDER | NATION | CONTRACT | OVERALL | AGE | | 1. | Lance Armstrong | | $17,050 | 74 | 40 | | 2. | Levi Leipheimer | | $85,250 | 76 | 38 | | 3. | Tom Danielson | | $48,825 | 75 | 34 | | 4. | Christopher Horner | | $39,525 | 76 | 40 | | 5. | Taylor Phinney | | $4,650 | 67 | 22 | | 6. | Andrew Talansky | | $10,850 | 69 | 23 | | 7. | Jake Keough | | $6,975 | 68 | 25 | | 8. | Brent Bookwalter | | $4,263 | 61 | 28 | | 9. | Ryan Anderson | | $3,100 | 63 | 24 | | 10. | Keven Lacombe | | $6,975 | 68 | 26 | | 11. | Hugo Houle | | $4,263 | 66 | 21 | | 12. | Svein Tuft | | $9,300 | 70 | 35 | | 13. | Dominique Rollin | | $5,813 | 70 | 29 | | 14. | Bernardo Colex Tepoz | | $3,100 | 62 | 28 | | 15. | Flavio De Luna | | $3,100 | 61 | 22 |
The team now has 10 spots left. Young Riders will need to be signed, and The CEO Mr. Clark & assistant of day-to-day operations Mr. Belko, are asking the fans & followers to answer a poll asking how many young riders the team should sign. The poll is located here and will be open until Sunday Evening EST.

Realy great team, I'm a fan of Talansky so It's great that he is in your team.

Not sure if you know this, but Cozza quit cycling, because his health was not improving. I forget exactly what it was, but I thought you should know...

I'm aware, he has made his return, as he said back in February that he was taking a break to recover from colitis
