A very disappointing season for TB - perhaps too many races in too many disciplines and not enough focus. Anyway at least Ukraine won the Comrade Cup so some small mercies - ending the season in Division 6 for the first time in 8 seasons. And upon reflection we secured 3 wins -which we've only done in 7 seasons.
Manager Barry stated " - lets forget this one and start again..."
In summary:
Pts: 439 ( - 13pts)
Division: 6 (E) (- 1 Divisions)
Rank: Ukraine 2nd (-/+ place)
worldwide 345th (- 11 places)
Team Value 2.538m (- 7k)
Rider of the Season: Enoch Zbikowski (rank 763rd, England Rank 29th) 2 wins and 1 Podium.
Fans Favourite / Most improved rider. Promising youngster from Papua New Guinea Trevor Singirok, 1849th from 4091st ( 2242 places) with 1 win. 1 podium and 1 place and ranked 3rd for Papua New Guinea
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 although some structural changes ahead as Zhuravlyov, Rusanov and Yunga all due to retire this season.
International:
A historic season for Ukraine to secure its third 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. Ukraine did very well in the CON
Zhuravlyov (5 caps)Krayevsky (4 caps) Korablin (8 caps incl 1x8th) Rusanov (1 cap) Obratzov (1 cap)Malyugin (5 caps), Maslov (1 cap-debut) Lipov (1 cap), Kashkanov (1 cap), Shagidzyanov (1 cap - debut) Bylinkin (3 cap) , Oborin (1 cap)
and Singirok secured his second cap for Papua New Guinea.
