@sutty- thanks.
Another American joins CSC
Team CSC drafted another great asset to the team, as Alex Howes joins us to really make the difference for us in the hills. We can also confirm, that the team is going for some other Americans again, and will go all-american in the draft from now on. |

Team CSC finalizes roster
Here is our complete roster for the upcoming season...
 | Mike Pye | Talent | | Louis Remington | Talent |  | Nick Van der Valde | Leader |  | Simon Gerrans | Leader |  | Ian Boswell | Talent | | Alex Howes | Key helper | | Thomas Peterson | Free Element | | Lawson Craddock | Talent | | Fred Rodriguez | "Teacher" | | Timothy Duggan | Key helper |  | Jaan Kirsipuu | "Teacher" | | Jake Keough | Key helper | | Jacob Rathe | Talent | | Craig Lewis | Teammate | | Ben King | Teammate | | Andrew Bajdali | Important helper | | Sheldon Deeny | Teammate | | Shawn Milne | Teammate | | Sergio Hernandez | Teammate | | Kyle Wamsley | Teammate | | Sterling Magnell | Teammate |  | Emmanuele Sella | Free Element | | Peter Femal | Teammate | | Rahssan Bahati | Teammate | | Frank Pipp | Teammate | | Jackson Stewart | Teammate | | Gavin Mannion | Teammate |
Looking at the squad it seems like that Simon Gerrans is going our main rider for the year, he really stands out strength-wise from the team. We'll have him racing in his home race, the TDU, and then he is going to race as many hilly races in the CT as he can, hopefully he can get us some great results.
Our other important leader competes on a whole other terrain, Nick Van der Valde is a guy that'll lead us through the cobblestones season, he is also going to get full support in the Gent - Wevelgem and the E3Prijs. He is also really competitive all-around, one of our most versatile guys.
Now let's talk about talents, as growing them is one of the biggest profiles of the team. To start off, we drafted two American promises, Ian Boswell and Lawson Craddock. Both of them are really usable as domestiques for now, however we see them in bigger roles in the future. Next to them, we also have the british duo of Mike Pye and Louis Remington, who are both going to be decent helpers this year, and maybe something more in a year or two. Plenty of more great young riders on the team, just look at Howes and Rathe, they're both great...
Our team isn't really one for the big mountains yet, but Sella and Peterson will surely look forward to some mountainous races, so we're not completely lost in those too...
Sprinting-wise, Team CSC is below average, but guys like Rodriguez, Kirsipuu and Keough might get some decent placements, but we can't rely on their points really.
Overall, the team gambling on youth, however with Gerrans and Van der Valde we're also going to have some great scorers... Gerrans also tops the CT when it goes hilly...
Some interesting bits: (idea from TMM)
Nationalities in the squad:
The million dollar question: From which country is Team CSC from?
Well, we went American... Seriously..

Well, it's built around Gerrans mainly, hope he performs...
I see that most of the CT teams are better, we're one of the worst, but I wanted to get as many Americans as possible, and that was the price, I believe. Well it doesn't matter, it'll be fun anyway... |

tbh I don't know, did you try with Fernández or something like that? He must be in the DB.
