  Goals for Monte Rosa?
  One major goal for this edition of Monte Rosa: a podium in YC wit Godard. He will not be in TF, but still confident he can do it!
  
   Halgau
  Who are we?
  Halgau is a team that tries to develop some Swiss riders. While we do not have much sucess we have at least as much fun as possible ;)
  Goals for Monte Rosa?
  The story behind the fact that we signed up for the tour is quite easy. Due to critically good planing of gained points we were able to reach div 5 in the exact moment when the last place for the tour was open. Basically you could also call it luck and chance of the blind but this does give away that I have strictly no plan whatsoever of what I am doing.
  As I signed on in a hurry (or in a panic) I forgot to send our best rider for tome TT training. I guess here goes the already low chance for anything in the GC. There is a hilly stage and a sprinter stage and these will be my focus.
  
   Icecat
  Goals for Monte Rosa?
  Get a podium with my new recruit, Brent Stanley.
  
   Katakumby
  Who are we?
  I created Katakumby few years ago, I'm playing for fun. Team is mostly prepared for ITT, but now i have few slightly good climbers and newcomer cobbler Weso?owski, maybe soon he earn form me some points. We were succesfull in Fast on Wheels few times, when January Bednarz was young;]

With our strong climbing squad, we hope to have some strong results on stages 3 and 4, as well as hopefully a GC result. This will also be a chance to give rising star (still unmaxed) Kane Poland some experience in a major race.

  Goals for Monte Rosa?
  Our aim in this edition of Monte Rosa is to learn it and try to obtain one result in one stage or a 3rd place in the YC. It won’t be a

surprise for the management if we return empty handed due to the high level of opponents that we are facing.

  Tashkent Browncoats is a team of misfits and riders who can't decide if they're climbers, downhillers or allrounders, led by me, a former Alpaca farmer hiding in Tashkent for Paraguayan government officials.
  Goals for Monte Rosa?
  While I was planning on bringing Debski as captain I've accidentaly triggered Lundberg's TF, so he'll be captain. After Lokomotiva Zvolen's announcement that their goal is to win I have to see that as my goal as well, seeing the close battle we had in the odyssey last season
  
   taxde
  Who are we?
  We Know Who We Are
  Goals for Monte Rosa?
  No more answers But my squad is totally ready
  
   Team Gbr Development

  Team Gbr was formed to develop British riders but we have not had much luck finding talents to train.
  Goals for Monte Rosa?
  Monte Rosa our main aim will be to support Rincon to stage wins but one stage we will send Sugars up the road to get ours sponsors from publicity.
  
   Team Specialized Cycling
  Who are we?
  I don't have much to say About the team though, as I play quite haphazardly.
  Goals for Monte Rosa?
  I don't know what to expect. Our North Korean is the intended GC-guy so I'm hoping he'll be competitive.
  
   TeamRunningCenter
  Who are we?
  A few seasons ago we where building a cobblesquad. But it didn't work out really well so i decide to quit the game. I sold everyone and then changed my mind. I decided to try to focus on lower division tours. One golden rule: I can buy any rider I like, but only train Belgium talents. I trained some weak tourriders but suddenly noticed my former Climbing talent Wayne vdp was released by his team. I watched the hirelist almost every day, every hour. Than after few days he appeared!
  Goals for Monte Rosa?
  Now he is the big man for my squad and he will be my captain for the monta Rosa tour. He has to do it in the mountains because of his Lack of tt. TeamRunningCenter has already two podiumplaces in his monta Rosa tour history. Now we Came back for the 1ste place, it will ben very difficult but some strong CL teammates and a strong hillhelper will help him out!
  
   teamsi
  Who are we?
  My team is a sprinting team. We are trying to develop some tt'ers but in recent TT races we haven't been very successful. I have trained all my riders up myself buying them cheaply and developing them.
  Goals for Monte Rosa?
  Goals for the tour would be to win a stage.I don't have any climbers so the overall is out of the question.
  
  
  3 Teams didn't share their goals for the Tour. They probably want to hide their true ambitions until the last minute!
