Spoiler @trekbmc I'm actually considering creating a few of my usuals as young riders with a decent potential (not 7+)
Second Batch of Riders In!
With rumors in the press abundant, I am pleased to inform the following riders have put pen to paper, despite sometimes receiving stiff competition from lucrative deals.
 Shane Archbold , a class track rider has made the jump from An Post-Chainreaction, despite appearing to be in a deal with Bora-Argon 18.
 Campbell Flakemore was a man in hot demand after his WC victory, and turned down development roles under some of the World's best TTists for a major role at PureBlack, something which shocked even us.
Josiah Bennett , an aspiring MTB and CX rider has completed a prodigious trifecta by putting his signature at the bottom of the paper. Look out for some breakaways this season as he begins his development.
 Mathieu van der Poel , a prodigy to say the least on both dirt and tarmac, has signed with us as a Protected Rider.
David van der Poel has signed with his younger brother, and he too looks to develop into a force to be reckoned with.
George Bennett has signed as a leader in the mountains and over hills, a prospect which he couldn't turn down, even over Lotto NL-Jumbo
That's all from me for now, though we are in talks with several more prodigies and old heads from around the globe.

Wondering how you got those riders in.  Should be a strong team.

@trekbmc Tanē's sister.
It will be, but I don't think of changing the goals, I don't think promotion or TDF is on the cards yet, we may apply for a GT but I doubt it will be successful. We hope to get a couple of WT wildcards.

Spoiler @Ian They sure are.
One more minor sponsor has signed on as a representative in Europe, and that is  Maserati . Personally not my fa- sorry, I love their cars and am excited to have them on board. However they create a dilemma as many of the Italians they have requested have turned down offers, including Stefano Pirazzi among others. We are approaching a couple of young neó-pros for Italy.
We have also signed on Jacks Bauer and Bobridge , the latter with no WT contract was more than happy to sign after being rejected by many teams which surprises many journalists to this day. That almost gives us our quota of Aussies, Rip Curl want 3 but these two will do as they are fairly high-profile. However we can confirm a man in a position similar to Bobridge, Aussie Criterium Champion Steele von Hoff has turned us down.
Keep tuned for more!

Spoiler @trekbmc He sure will be, he is still on course for the hour record, so stay tuned to him! For this reason I will be keeping up with hour record attempts!
@the_hoyle It sure does!
Young CX talent Milan Listerijn  has signed a pro contract on the road with us! He is a promising young puncher with very good bike handling skills. And with that...
We are starting a CX team to start pro racing season 15-16. The riders already signed are:
Alex Revell
Josiah Bennett
Milan Listerijn
We are still negotiating with the van der Poels, but expect this small team with two of the most promising riders turning pro in CX this year to be worth watching anyway.
Greg Henderson has today confirmed he will stay with Lotto-Soudal to be with Andre Greipel. However, if we secure promotion or Andre starts his demise they will sign with us, which is very promising news indeed. That means we have a wrap on our national riders, now we have negotiations with a couple of rider further afield and we will be done!

Wait, is Milan Listerijin Belgian or Italian? Anyway, it looks promising.

Is the NZ NC just going to be a battle of the Pure Black riders?

@the_hoyle Greg and the Avanti boys are there but strength in numbers should mean we come home with the win .

We can currently confirm we are at war with Bardiani CSF over Simone Andreeta and Caja Rural over  Hugh Carthy . Both are very talented riders and both of the other teams have distinct advantages. Obviously every young Italian climber wishes to join one of the Italian Giro teams, and Hugh has no language problems either, having spent a few years learning Spanish. Caja is also a more reputable and proven team to sign with. Our only hope with Simone is money, though we do have a decent chance of signing Hugh. These two and Michael Storer (confirmed) will be our last forays into the market.
The van der Poels are currently with their BKCP-Powerplus team racing, and trying to figure out contracts. Obviously BKCP have every chance of keeping them but it is an awkward situation. We hope to be able to confirm their signing later this (CX) season, but if not you'll be the first to hear the bad news as well.

@trekbmc Build, don't buy . The transfers are down to random generator, and I am quite pleased with the results
@Croatia14 The potential VDP signings for the CX team was part of the random generator, so you'll find out about it tommorow. I am adding one more member to the squad no matter.
