Don't really care for a British team, but at least the Yates brothers are present.  |

** BREAKING NEWS **
Hoyle: We finally have our Name!
Just a week after announcing the new British team, Phil Hoyle can finally reveal the full details about the team.
British clothing company Rapha will be the team's main sponsor, signing a 3-year deal, with Italian Bike Manufacturers Bianchi coming in a Co-Sponsor and Bike Supplier. The team will ride under the name of Rapha-Bianchi Cycling Team for the forthcoming season.
Deals have also been made with SRAM, Science in Sport and Vision, who will provide the team's components, nutrition, and wheelsets respectively.
The Rapha-Bianchi's jersey is still in the design stage and is yet to be finalised, but Hoyle expects that it will be revealed later this month, with a few teasers to wet the appetite along the way.
This news was coupled with the details of a further 6 signings to the team. A British Trio of Tom Southam, Dan Lloyd and Dan Fleeman all add great experience to the team, whilst the Italian Davide Villella, Danish rider Rasmus Quaade and Swede Fredrik Ludvigsson show the team's keen eye for an up and coming European Talent.

@welker: It is a shame that Pate is not out of contract, as he would have been first choice on the list

** TRANSFER NEWS **
Rapha-Bianchi add 4 more to roster
Rapha-Bianchi Cycling Team Manager Phil Hoyle has today revealed 4 more signings to his new squad, adding a feel from Down Under in the process.
The experienced rider Trent Lowe joins the ranks, whilst Damien Howson, Caleb Ewan and Nathan Earle add to the already youthful look of the squad, coming into the squad from the Australian Development Team.
These signings now take the number in the squad to 17, leaving just 3 more spaces left. Hoyle had hinted in the past that he is negotiation with 1 or 2 big named riders, but with limited spaces left, is he saving the best til last?

Does the team ride PCT or CT? They might be a bit too strong for CT.
Howson is a great addition to the team. |

** TRANSFER NEWS **
Hoyle: The squad is nearly complete
Phil Hoyle today revealed one of his big final signings in the form of Remy Di Gregorio.
Di Gregorio signs for Rapha-Bianchi from ProTeam Astana, and was out of contract following complications with his transfer to Cofidis. He is joined on the team by fellow Frenchman Damien Monier.
These two further signings now reveals all but one of the new roster for Rapha-Bianchi Cycling Team. Hoyle confirmed that the final 20th place has been filled, but he needs to wait until 1st January to formally announcing the signing to the PCM Daily World, due the rider's current contract.

Good to see you giving Di Gregorio another chance.
Don't know Monier, but looked him up. Won a stage in the Giro, so he will be a useful rider for the team with his experience. |

@mvhoogdalem: That is the plan. Add experience to the squad, and looks like he could work well in the lead out
@sutty: Bursting with talent and one more rider to complete the line up. Time to reveal the kit for 2013 I think first though
