S73, despite a promising start for TB the season turned into a bit of a damp squib in the end as injuries, fatigue and post-NT success led to a rather underwhelming climax and in the end a drop down a division to D5
Manager Barry stated " whilst the NT celebrated its historic success this took away from actually a rather disappointing season for TB - need to do better next season".
In summary:
Pts: 452 ( - 231pts)
Division: 5 (D) (- 1 Divisions)
Rank: Ukraine 2nd (-/+ place)
worldwide 334th (- 109 places)
Team Value 2.545m (- 65k)
Rider of the Season: Agafon Korablin (Rank: 626th, Ukraine Rank 2nd) - 2 Wins 1 podium & 5 places and 3 caps for the Comrade Cup title. Korablin cements his place as one of TB's greatest riders as holding the most wins (8) for TB and the most places (27) - so quite apt he took the rider of the season award.
Fans Favourite / Most improved rider Anglo-Pole
Enoch Zbikowski, 850th from 4239th (3613 places) with 3 podiums and 4 places.
Personnel & Tactical Changes
No major changes at the top of the roster Zhuravlyov maintains the captainacy supported by De Peuter while Zbikowski consolidates his position as Vice Captain with Rusnanovs with backup up in the cobblist sections and Krayevsky and Korablin on the technical sprints.
International:
A historic season for Ukraine to secure its second consecutive title - big shouts to Sapyrkin and Yumatov who secured the majority of the points but a lot of the heavy lifting was carried out by TB.
Korablin (3 caps), Zhuravlyov (6 caps), Kashkanov (1 cap), Shabalin (1 cap), Malyugin (2 caps) Bylinkin (1 cap) Krayevsky (1 caps) Chupov (1 cap)
