I think you should allow the thread to grow a little before you declare it a "Mega-thread".

This softball interview is done from Levi Leipheimer studios.. So no big surprise that Armstrong era legacy was not really discussed, The ages of the riders are a little older than what you would expect from development squad...I can certainly understand signing Samuel Florez, will add a Columbian component for fan base, I think big George missed an opportunity by not signing a Mexican rider, dozens are available who are as good or better than @50% of the team. I am an ageist for sure but Robin Carpenter is an excellent bike racer despite being really old..love the guy!

What sort of calendar are they planning/expecting to ride?

Roster looks pretty underwhelming as it doesn’t even seem to fit a purpose of giving opportunities to younger riders or those newer to the sport having switched from other sports.

Will you be doing activities in both Europe and the American calendar?

We're evaluating which races we'll receive invitations to in Europe or the Middle East. In the first two years, we'll race wherever possible. Since we're a second-division professional team, we're not guaranteed invitations. But right now, I'm traveling around the world, meeting as many people as possible, talking about ourselves and our vision . Obviously, we want to race in America, but there aren't many races, so we'll do what's available, but our focus will be on the European calendar.
