Space Marine Bike Combat Squads

[StrangeGuy]

My problem is this, I was thinking about a 10 man squad of Bikes, so I took a look at the entry in the codex and I'm puzzled... Unit Composition lists 1 Sergeant and 2 Bikers, that's 3 marines. Special Rules list combat squad as an option, so I double checked that rule and it says that only 10 man units can use the combat squad rule. Well according to the Bike Squad entry under options you can add 5 regular bikes and an attack bike to the squad which gives me 8 Regular Bikes and an attack bike, so if I combat squad them it would be 5 regular bikes in one combat squad, and 3 regular bikes and an attack bike in the second, is this correct?

It is explained further on page 68, the bike description. For purposes of having a full 10 man unit and dividing them into combat squads the attack bike counts as two models. So a full squad would be 8 bikes + the attack bike, and you divide them into one squad with 5 bikes and one squad with 3 bikes and the attack bike.
