Clayton STONE
Anthem, Arizona
By now having already rubbed elbows on the continent several times — and taken home Belgian flowers as a souvenir — CJ’s studies continue at Superissimo for a return engagement. Ready to go full stick before heading to study eastern design ways, he will show he is eager to test his mettle against the best this year. Oh! there he goes.

Jim PETERMAN
This may be the only rider on the team that we are sorry that he has to wear a helmet. Such hair.
Peterman is arguably the GC rider on paper with his wily time trialing ways, albeit he does better with two clavicles in that discipline. Look for Jim to get in touch with his inner Peterman and bring full fury at his favorite venues in 2016.
Jim ‘as been to:
(….insert Peterman results here…)
Sam WARFORD
Bringing more weight to the ring than his sleight frame carries, Sam may be turning into the teams sprinter – but imagine a sprinter trapped terrifyingly in a climbers body. Horrible….
Just wait til the road goes up though.
See Sam climb. Climb, Sam, Climb.
