After a succeseful 2010 season with the team finishing in top 5 Team Clasification , winning Vuelta a Espana and a second place for Andy in the individual classification , Domina Vacanze board of directors decided to extend the sponsorship for another year .
Because of the hard economy that is right now , we had to go and find some secondary sponsors so joining us this year are Elitron , Kia and Selle Italia , and our bike manufactory will be italian firm Viner.
Here is our new shirt for 2011
We want to thanks maximka for this lovely shirt.

After the CEO metting in Palermo , Italy , the board of directors instructed us the managment of Domina Vacanze the goals for 2011
The first and most important goal is Tour de France podium place , this year will give our attentions to the frenchies , so italian races will have lesser value
A top 3 in Tdf will make the sponsors happy and will keep the cash flowing.
Another goal this year will be winning Dauphine Libere , another french race , we want to win it for italian pride
Giro D'italia was not forgotten so a top 10 there will be a goal that we will need to make it
The other two goals will come if we will make the 3 goals , Top 5 in Teams Classifications , which last year we did it and another goal that last year we achieved it , 15 wins in Pro Tour season
Our budget will be enough for this seaon not to small but no to big , moderate , blame it on the economy .
Goals
Tour De France top 3
Dauphine Libere win overall GC
Giro D'Italia top 10
Teams General Classification Top 5
15 Wins in Pro Tour season
