A good season - ironically with the same number of wins and podiums that S75 but this time TB ended up in Division 4 - given the larger numbers of placements we had this season - so overall - good.
The highlight also being Ukraine's taking the Comrade Cup title and the heroes Cup - to continue the sides current domination in FSU cycling. As manager Barry stated "A good season - but we always do better"
In summary:
Pts: 640pts ( + 77pts)
Division: 4 (D) (+ 1 Divisions)
Rank: Ukraine 2nd (-/+ place)
worldwide 246th (-31 places)
Team Value 2.105 (- 42K)
Rider of the Season: Enoch Zbikowski - for the third season in a row (rank 568th, England Rank 20th) 1 wins and 2 Podiums.
Fans Favourite / Most improved rider. New boy Konstantin Astakhov who hit a delightful run of form to 927th from 3984th (3057 places) with a debut win and 2 podiums.
Personnel & Tactical Changes
Big changes as long-standing servant to the team, Zhuravlyov retires and Zbikowski now promoted to Squad Captain with De Peuter (finally) upgraded to Vice Captain. Korablin and Krayevksy will also be promoted to captain if the right races come up.

Team Ukraine responded well after losing the Comrade Cup by taking their 4th title in 5 years to continue their dominance in the OCM over recent years.
