Wow, spent so much time on this last year... Let's just continue it better...
Team Popo4Ever p/b Morshynska
That's correct! The Nemiroff name has been dropped for the 2022 season in an attemp of creating a more positive view of the team within the modern, sportive society. Less alcohol, more healthy replacements! Our new sponsor is very great step towards making that attempt successful, seeing Morshynska is a large supplier of natural water, no funny business, just healthy pure water.
The team will continue under the Popo4Ever name that's been established in the world of cycling now though, with Morshynska solely being the main backer of the project.
Next to Morshynska a number of other companies, some new, some returning have also chosen to support the project for the coming year. We thank ATB-Market, ABBYY, Aerosvit, PetCube and from Madagascar even Unima for their support in making this season hopefully another good succes.
In addition to our backers we also get supplies from our trusted partners at SCOTT and SRAM, and as a new change brand new cars from Toyota.

As a part of getting a new partner, of course new colours would follow! We're proud to present our 2022 colours, which are seriously different than anything we've been used to, and thank our designer hillis91 for his outstanding work!

Looking forward to watching hgw your transfer window unfolds because there's a million things even in renewals that could turn everything upside down for you!
Looking forward to competing in the same division against you again!

Wow, stunning new jersey, love it. Great to still see so many Ukrainians and other 'local' riders in your team, which keeps finishing around the top of PCT with the clear strong regional focus. Interested to see what will happen with Pluchkin this season

Pretty good, I'd say. I know you expressed that you have too many riders in the Skype chat, but that's still a fixable problem if you're willing to fix it, especially given the amount of new teams this year.
Padun's big raise will sting a bit, but that was always to be expected after training. Good to see you were able to talk Pluchkin down as well. I'm sure you wanted to go even lower, but managing pay cuts of several hundred thousand euros is not an easy endeavor, and he should definitely make less now than he would from FA. So that's a success imo.

This is absolutely brilliant done. I can't spot a single mistake - except for the amount of riders
But you really nailed the wages. Well done.

Great job done there! Have to disagree with bbl though, Padun's wage looks great from where I'm sitting

Good renewals. I think you'll have a fun transfer period if you so choose

Wow, never imagined Pluchkin would be available, even after decline. Think you have a good amount of leverage if you do decide to go in that direction because Padun and Pluchking are different enough as stage racers still to not get in each other's way a ton. Definitely not a sell at all costs situation.
Ackermann isn't quite built for this game engine but also still has a lot of potential to overperform his wage and is only 28. He should be a significant asset to move as well.
Who knows, maybe we'll talk.

The past few days we've been looking for new riders to add to our team, just like every team has been. Now transfers are nearing the end we're happy to announce 6 new faces at the squad!
Starting with the new arrivals we have Simon Spilak, a 3 times Grand Tour winner who is nearing the end of his marvelous career. We can't offer Simon the leader role has had for so many years, however upon offering the chance to have the most fitting end to a career a man could wish, riding together with another 3 times Grand Tour winner not much else had to be said.
Nipuna Shira Manamalage and Peter Varga are 2 other experienced guys we've been able to bring in. Both will be key parts in leading the team across flat terrain, a department we've been seriously lacking in, hopefully aiding our sprinters to great extent. In addition to that Manamalage is our next attempt at having someone who can actually ride over those things called cobbles, or something.
Finally 3 talents joined our ranks. Matic Zumer is someone who really likes going uphill, and then going downhill 10 times faster. This unique talent will hopefully make us remember the days when we had a very similar rider in Paolo Scarponi. Ziga Horvat is basically a combination of Varga and Manamalage, and he can do basically anything as long as it's not on a TT bike. He's a very important link in our future plans to also focus slightly more on different terrains. Yaroslav Parashchak is this year's local talent. He's a strong puncheur who doesn't get scared by the longer climbs as much as some others and will have an important domestique role in the future.
Aside from 6 riders going in we also have some riders leaving the team. Pascal Ackermann will be joining Zwift Pro Cycling, Dries De Bondt has moved to Colombini-Adler Aalterpaint, Wojciech Pszczolarski has moved to Staffbase - BHP but is rumoured to be moving again... Bonduelle - Eesti Energia has bought both Martin Laas and Deins Kanepejs and Vadim Pronskiy will be getting experience at the highest level at our friends of Isostar - Specialized

Spilak at Popo4ever is a great way to end the career of an MG-legend at a regional team. Once again you also signed several regional talents, which is nice to see. Don't want to put any pressure on you but Zouzou to 80 mtn would be great to see
