Not great -but certainly an improvment and the team flirted with D4 towards the tail end of the season. The UKraine's grip on the Comrade Cup was also relinquished - although no bad thing to lose out to the Lithuanians - at least we finished above the toilet stealers. Only 2 wins this season- but plemnty of podiums. Manager Barry stated " - An improvment - but could do better.."
In summary:
Pts: 563 ( + 124pts)
Division: 5 (E) (+ 1 Divisions)
Rank: Ukraine 2nd (-/+ place)
worldwide 277th (+68 places)
Team Value 2.533m (- 5k)
Rider of the Season: Enoch Zbikowski - for the second season in a row (rank 519th, England Rank 22nd) 1 wins and 3 Podiums.
Fans Favourite / Most improved rider. Experienced lead-out domestique - Nikifor Bylinkin 2593rd from 4284th (1691 places) with a place (4th)
