As you can see, the United States riders have been given a large chunk of the funds, mostly due to the talent of the riders.
The team also stated that it has $527,000 in the budget for this year!

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.

Lacombe will become a great sprinter, even more good signings!

I say no more leaders from here. Work on more TT specialists, guys for the flat, and some climbers like Ryan Roth.
You read my mind. Check back in about 2 hours

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:

Voted
I won't make a state secret out of it, I voted max young talent!
That's always interesting in a story, to see riders progressing
I'm curious about the new signing!
The team has announced the signing of Steven Cozza today!
The 27 year old, who will now be the second best prologue rider on the team, and also one of the better flat riders, will lose a ton of time on the mountains, but that is not a major concern right now. He is the 16th member of the team, the updated roster can be viewed on the very first post of this thread.
As for the poll, to keep it unbiased as usual, here is how many votes we have received.
Thank you to everybody for you support! We can't wait for the racing to start!
Mr. Clark
--CEO

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
