With the return of Magner and longtime friend of the team Murphy back in the fold, Craven declared that "the band was back together," while team owner George Hincapie said he was very happy with the 2017 roster.
"Eisenhart, one of America's youngest and brightest talents, is a testament to the success and upward trajectory of the team," Hincapie said. "With Magner and Murphy, we'll have one of the best sprinter duos in the country."
