The goals will be rated in terms of our chances of success and the importance for the sponsors. Both ratings will go from 0-5. For the chance of success, zero (0) means that we expect less than 10 % chance of success and five (5) asterisks means we assess that there's more than a 90 % chance of success.
La Tropicale Amissa Bongo | Top 5 |
| Chances of success: ** | Importance for sponsors: ***** |
While a top 5 seems unlikely, Schomber actually finished 6th two seasons ago. We've also brought Sureda to contest the sprints and Medvedev to chase the luck, but achieving the goal will most likely fall on Schomber - and some bad luck for the sprinters who are expected to perform well in the time trials.

While some might think this is a goal for Schomber, I'm quite certain the race will be won by a sprinter. With the quality present in the division - especially Boudat and Kennett - a win here will be almost impossible for Sureda.

Aviv Yechezkel was 4th last year. He's returning but demoted to domestique for Logan Owen. While the competition has improved, we feel pretty confident that Owen can succeed with the assistance of three more domestiques with 67+ cobbles: Rubenis, Medvedev, Malale, and Baterdene.

We won't win in Monterrey, but as showcased on the SEE Turtles HQ we should have the 3rd or 4th best TTT squad in the division. However, with Riders of Rohan probably attending and a bit of raceday uncertainty, we keep our optimism capped around 60 %.
| Chances of success: * | Importance for sponsors: ***** |
While a top 5 is highly unlikely, promotion could be in the cards with a few disbands and a bit of luck. While that may not improve our budget next season, it would mean the world to both the sponsors and team management to feature in the PCT.
