Probably a couple stars and a few watercarriers from each team. I saw
it too and figured it's just a combined squad for the race, as neither
probably wants to field a full team.

Dave,

Last year at the SF Grand Prix, Vini Caldirola and Formaggi Pinzolo were
billed together. Four riders from each team showed up in their
respective jerseys, but between them, they were considered one complete
team with numbers from the same series (i.e. 150-158, or whatever it
was). It must be the same thing here.

They do it to split the expenses, most likely.
