Anyone know anything about this mob? They've signed Honchar and Grivko and are after Bettini. It was in the latest Cycle Sport that PB was linked to a team based on Monacco which ISD - Danieli is...

The cash seems to be from the Ukraine this time
Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    Team is jointly funded by ISD and Danieli, who are Italian. ISD have spent the past few years setting up a fairly significant sports funding programme.

    Last month, they were quite upfront about who they were chasing, though Bettini wasn't listed as one of them. Visconti might even be a better signing than Bettini.

    It's planned that there will be 24 riders in the team, counting 14 Ukrainian ones. Among them Vladimir Dyudya and Andrey Golovko, who are well known in the professional cycling, the leader if the present Continental team "ISD-Sport-Donetsk" Denia Kostyuk, ex-World champions Dmitriy Grobovskiy (Quick Step) and Sergey Matveev (Cinelli-OPD) as well as Yuriy Metlushenko (Amore Vita). In the program is also to get ex-champion of Italy Giovanni Visconti (the pink leader's jersey of Giro d"Italia 2008), Alessandro Proni, Leonardo Scarcelli, Davide Vigano (Quick Step).
