Whilst it has been only months, investor and cycling multimillionaire, Damian Owniak, is back in the world of ManGame cycling. Having left former team, Fablok in the dust. Damian is ready for another venture into the world of professional cycling. This time the Polish/American cycling geek has put another project into the fray; Oktal Pharma - TotalTV.
It is therefore not a comeback of Polish origin, but rather a new project set to start in the glorious nation of Croatia. The eccentric person in question had this to say: "Fablok was the wonderchild of my own ambition to take Polish cycling into a new glorious era. And in a way we succeeded. We took the team to a PT spot, fighting for podiums and victories in the biggest races on the planet. Now I wish to do this all again, with a few changes, the first being to promote Croatian cycling and set it to new heights".
With this addition to the Continetal Tour of the prestigious ManGame. It would seem that we already have a strong contender for the CT title. Having only spent one season there with Fablok and famously took Anthony Lavoine to the top of the leaderboard that year. History is on the side of Damian and his new team, but will that expertise show on the scoreboard? We will just have to wait

Welcome back 
Looking forward to how you'll shape up your team! Guess we won't be competing much for the same riders during transfers, but I'm sure we'll have some duels out on the road during the season. Good luck!

@baseballlover321: Thanks, good to be back
@Fabianski: you'll never know, I think it's not that healthy for a team, to just stick solely on talent from a specific region. But baby steps here at first. One thing for sure, I wont build this team like I did previously
I am proud to present to you all, our new shirt for the 2022 season. A shirt in cycling is, like in other sports, the face of the organisation. You'll see it out in public, at the gym and at outdoor events. So therefore we are proud to have this years shirt, as a breathing reminder of the identity of this team. So we hope you all like it, cause in the end, it's also something for you.
I would also like to thank @EzeeFreak for designing the shirt to our wishes. We are happy with the outcome of this collaboration. It is a unique shirt in many ways and we cant wait to show it on the road. All in all, a good start to this off-season. Hopefully we can announce the first riders on our team very soon. Thanks!
Damian Owniak, General Manager

Welcome to the Balkan peninsula 
Can't have a proper Croatian shirt without a checkered pattern in there somewhere 
Hopefully we can work together and not step on each other's toes too much.
Good luck

Transfer Update #1 - The Croatians
We are pleased to welcome our first signings of the team. We'll be dividing every transfer update with certain areas of the team. First we start with our Croatian talent. So without much further ado, here are our first signings!
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | OVR | XP | Wage |  | Filip Kvasina | 68 | 61 | 62 | 58 | 67 | 70 | 62 | 62 | 71 | 70 | 61 | 65 | 59 | 68,05 | 1.0 | 50.000 |
This young and promising talent of our proud motherland is gonna be a star for the future. He will start at our own ranks, trying to get experience from our more experienced sprinters. We hope that he will grow into a strong leadout for our team over time and perhaps even get his own chances down the road.
Mateo Frankovic - Domnestique
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | OVR | XP | Wage | | Mateo Frankovic | 74 | 62 | 71 | 64 | 71 | 78 | 70 | 67 | 74 | 76 | 66 | 71 | 66 | 74,12 | 4.100 | 50.000 |
Next up is Mateo Frankovic. A strong and solid domnestique, who will be extra deadly, if he comes home with a breakaway sprint for victory. He has a huge energy tank and can provide support through both hills and sprints. Mateo looks forward to supporting his teammates this season.
David Jabuka - Time Trialist
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | OVR | XP | Wage | | David Jabuka | 62 | 59 | 56 | 68 | 60 | 65 | 57 | 64 | 60 | 64 | 58 | 58 | 67 | 64,41 | 1.0 | 50.000 |
David Jabuka is another talent for the future. He will be a key player down the line for our TT train. We feel that he will probably not have a huge impact in his first season. So therefore he will simply learn from his teammates this season.
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | OVR | XP | Wage | | Deni Banicek | 72 | 50 | 65 | 58 | 73 | 70 | 71 | 57 | 76 | 75 | 63 | 65 | 73 | 72,33 | 4.100 | 50.000 |
Deni Banicek is our star Croatian signing. He will be key to help our main sprinter get to the finish line first. He has all the abilities of a great leadout and can handle plenty on his own. So therefore he is a very welcome addition to our roster.

Congrats on the signings.
Love Frankovic, he is a hero at McCormick, our domestique of the year award is named after him. Great to see him ride for a Croatian team. Also has won the last 3 Croatian NCs, a streak he should have a shot to keep up this year.
