Armstrong is now retired, although he has continued to be a public face around the team.
Its racing performance fell off drastically last year, Armstrong's first year of retirement. At the Tour de France, the sport's marquee event, the team failed to place a rider in the top 10, although it won one daily stage and held the leader's yellow jersey for one day.
After the disappointing Tour de France, Discovery won the team classification at the Vuelta a Espana. George Hincapie won the US championship road race.
