Since the fall of the Berlin wall, cycling throughout Eastern Europe has been on the rise, with the last tour de France having two riders from Eastern Europe on the podium and the future looks bright for the region.
Netia - Norske Skog will be joining the Continental Cycling division for the 2014 cycling season, with a focus on bringing Polish and Eastern European to a major force in world cycling alongside giants such as France, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy and Spain.
The team will primarily focus on Polish talents, through the title sponsor, Netia, but will also have a keen eye for the rest of Eastern Europe, while Norske Skog, a Norwegian company will want the world to see the team represented in Scandinavia.
Netia - Norske Skog, Polski Rowerowy na światowej scenie.
Designed by Krisa of Sportful, this is the amazing jersey that the team will wear for the 2015 cycling season, the colours are based off the logos of the main sponsors, Netia and Norske Skog (and the design is based off Saxo - Tinkoff 2012, from an online management game). Hopefully this jersey will make us recognisable in the peloton for 2015.
Credits to Krisa for this Amazing Jersey
Name: Netia
Industry: Telecommunications
Sponsor Status: Main Sponsor (Title Sponsor)
Focus Countries: Poland, Rest of Eastern Europe, Germany*
*Very Minor
Netia is a telecommunications company, the second biggest in Poland. They are sponsoring us to further there name in Eastern Europe, especially if they choose to expand.
The deal was signed on the terms that the team would mostly focus on Eastern Europe, with a minimum of 40% (but hopefully more) riders of the team from Poland. They also wish to be seen throughout Eastern Europe, with a few riders from other countries in the region. They have also offered us an undisclosed pay rise based on the goal races we agree with them upon, which are to be set later in the year. We look forward to having a great season with Netia.
Name: Norske Skog
Industry: Pulp and Paper
Sponsor Status: Co-Sponsor (Title Sponsor)
Focus Countries: Norway, Rest of Scandinavia Austria*, Czech Republic*, Germany*
*Very Minor
Norske Skog is a Norwegian paper company, who own mills all around the world. They wish to have there name seen in there home region of Scandinavia and other nations where they have mills.
When the deal was signed we agreed that the team would have a strong focus on Norway, as well as the rest of Scandinavia, the team also outlined that they wish to have riders and race in countries such as Netherlands, Austria, France, Czech Republic, Germany, Chile, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, China and Thailand. But many of those countries are outside reasonable bounds for the team, so the list has been limited to Austria, Czech Republic and Germany, where the team will also look for riders or race, although the company has asked us to consider competing in some of those countries.
Minor Sponsors:
Note: These countries are not taken into account for focus countries.

Have i just read Ukraine in your main sponsor countries focus areas?
Just kidding, there are still some CT useful Ukrainians on the free agents market and same for other eastern european countries. As with Fablok, i hope we can have a friendly relationship in developing the common goal, improving the cycling in eastern europe. Goo luck in 2015!

Oh, have to change that, the team is Poland, Norway, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, so Ukraine is just in Eastern Europe, I might not have any riders from Ukraine and I won't have more than two.
Thanks though, hopefully we can achieve that goal in improving cycling in Eastern Europe!
btw: is next seasons 2014 or 2015?

Should have researched that more fully. I've got two solutions:
1. They wasted their money on a Continental Cycling Team
2. This is their attempt to get back on track.
Also, I don't completely understand it, but I'm pretty sure this article says that they are coming back: https://www.nasdaq...0223-00813

You're most likely more updated than me :-p All my info is memory from old newspaper articles ;-)
I like the first solution though ;-)

Truthfully, I mostly did it with Wikipedia and just used the site to check the information, so I didn't really look through information like that.
I don't think the first solution goes very well for me though.

We will have our tensions, of course, but still there will be some ground to work together
Good luck trekbmc!

@sgdanny and ggdonovan
Hopefully we can make the best of it, I guess we can all work together in making Polish cycling bigger, even if we have some transfers strife. Best of luck to you guys to.
@matt, jesleyh & TMM
As said, the focus form Netia is simply Poland & the rest of Eastern Europe. So the goal is to sign a few riders from different countries in Eastern Europe, rather than a rider from. Pretty much, the countries that are listed are ones that I can sign riders in and should try to race in, while the ones in bold are the main rider focus.
@everyone
Thanks for the kind words, minor sponsors and most likely jersey are to be announced soon.
