Remaining on the rider roster from 2015 are Adam Stenson, Alexis Roche, Jake Gray, Emily Birchall and Jenny Neenan.
And the squad is adding some really strong riders in the shape of Cameron McIntyre, Marc Heaney, Aaron Kearney, Tom Knight, Luke Smith, Dion McCarthy and Shauna McFadden.
Team principal Philip Finnegan, who has done a great job in recent seasons developing our best juniors, said he was delighted there were riders from all parts of the country involved again for 2016.
