I guarantee that I will move into your shadows when it comes to TT/TTT in PCT. 
81-80-78-78-75-72 secured and I am sure that 1-2 decent time trialists are added.
Good luck in PCT. Ignatiev should do well in some races securing a good amount of points. Grosu, Zmorka should be solid additions on level 4 already.
But it will mainly be interesting to see what you plan GC wise. Popovych is not too weak yet but not strong enough to lead in PT races alone. So having 1-2 more options for stage races are surely needed for you.
Will be a tough season I think (as for most promoted teams) but I wish you good luck to stay over the line in the end.
I don`t even want ot imagine Grosu, Ignatiev, Zmorka, Tanovitchii etc. all maxed out in PCT again. |

Welcome to the PT
My plan of trying to loan Zmorka just ended :-p Now you have to give him to me instead

Regarding the TT issue in PCT...there's a pretty decent German available now... 
Congrats again and thanks for removing Grosu from the "Demare opposition" list (which looks pretty thin now, although I don't want to jinx anything).
Your transfers will be really interesting to follow, and those fair few new Eastern European teams in CT won't make it easier.

There goes my chance to sign Grosu even on a loan.
Congrats though

Thanks a lot guys for the congrats, i am looking forward (and i am a bit scared) to face you and rest of PT Heine. You had a nice plan, but Zmorka would be able to max also in PCT thanks to Avenir+HCs+few wildcard days. Also Zmorka will never leave the team.
Yeah, Rothaus is looking like TTT powerhouse already and with piece or two it can be "new Oz". BPost is also looking good in this regard and maybe some new star teams in this category will emerge.
Regarding the "rebuild" for PT and especially our GC squad, i am not preparing drastical changes as i feel depth is present.
But i am preparing a mega bid for certain rider, who should not be so hard to guess for people who can connect the dots. 
Edit: Thanks Alex, Grosu was same case as Zmorka, he would stay in PCT with us. I can see how hard this can be for you, but we feel that Grosu is our designated leader for years to come. You can try to throw a millions on me though. He is still very young and who knows what the distant future can bring.

New jersey for 2015 PT adventure!
Celebration of the promotion has barely ended in Metinvest HQ and here comes another reason to celebrate. Our long time jersey designer Aidan, passionate cyclist himself, created the new kit for our 2015 Pro Tour debut. In one of the best designs of his career, as he tweeted recently, we can present you the new colours of Metinvest-Dacia, leading ukrainian force in the world of cycling!
All credits to Aidan. Thank you!

No Sandero...
Looks great tho, Ukrainian colors somewhat make up for not having the RR Champ

I'm loving it, stunning work Aidan, you're really proving to be the right choice for all the managers that sent you a request
Also Avin, good luck for your debut in the ProTour, you'll be easily recognized with that shirt

Thank for all the nice comments boys! Aidan really did great jon once again, it was never a question for Metinvest which designer to choose for our PT debut jersey.
@fjhoekie: How come that you noticed that?
