S68 is the start of a transitionary period for TB as the crop of older riders are retired from the team.

Personnel & Tactical Changes
No change at the top but looking down the rosta Zhuravlyov maintains the Captaincy and the teams focus on climbs with the fast-improving Zbikowski consolidating the downhill contingent as Vice Captain with Kozlovsky and Rusnavs with backup up hillster and cobblist sections.
International:
Dissappointment again for UKraine's national team as they had a poor WT seaon. TB made a solid contribution including Chupov (1 cap), Kashkanov (debut 1 cap), Andreyushkin (1 cap), Zhivenkov (1 cap), Chichkanov (Debut -1 Cap), Teplov (Debut 1 Cap), Yunge (1 cap), Lyutov (3 caps), Medvedev (1 cap),Dolzhikov (1 cap) Korablin (3 caps)Dmitriyev (2 caps),Rusanov (1 cap), Kozlovsky (4 caps), Zhuravlyov (5 caps)
TB's Uzbek riders - Arshavin picked up 1 cap in his final season.
U23 - Not much to report on as TB did not have a strong enough squad to put out a team.
Ukraine Honours
Not so bad. Rusanov scored two seconds in the races on home turf at Chernivtsi and Lviv.
