The team is sponsored by the canadian company, SpiderTech. They're one of the most famous canadian companies, when it comes to sport. They're helping people to achieve more with their Kinesiology products. Spidertech had his own Continental team, but now they decided to go one step bigger. They want to compete with the big guns on every type of terrain. No matter what, it will be very tough, but they believe in the team.
Our other big sponsor is bike- constructor Cerv�lo, who also had their own team. They will provide our bikes, and help with any mechanical problems. They make superior bikes, so the quality is excellent.
Our minor sponsors are Skoda, flickr, Zipvit and BlackBerry.
Here is our jersey designed by fcancellara!

 Zoltan Jakab
He is probably our best GT rider. He is great in the mountains, and more then decent against the clock. When the road rises, he is certainly one to watch. He`ll aim for the Maillot Jaune, and possibly the red jersey in the Vuelta.
 Bartosz Piasecki
Bartosz is one of the fastest sprinters in the world. If the leadout is good he is almost unbeatable. He doesn`t really like to go upwards, but he can keep up with the grupetto and hope to survive the mountain stages. His dream is winning the green jersey on the Tour, and we think he has what it takes.
 Mike Pye
Mike likes to ride simple. Go hard and don`t look back! That`s his famous quote. Our cobblestone-specialist is one of the best in his discipline, and he looks to show that in the Flanders classics.
 Kristjan Puskaric
Kristjan is very similar to Jakab. He has almost the same capabilities as him, so their goals are crossing each other. However, besides the Tour de France, Kristjan concentrates more on the Giro D`Italia, and the Maglia Rosa.
 Jack Wiles
One of the most interesting riders in the peleton. He hates time-trialing, but in the mountains, he is one of the most amazing riders to watch. Long-range attacks are his trademark, and every cycling fan appreciates the hardness of these rides. This year the aims for the more mountainious GTs, such as the Giro and the Vuelta, where he`ll co-lead the team.
 Christian Bahr
The danish fastman, is the ideal sprinter for a team. Very fast, can get over hills, and his TT-ing is also world-class. He can compete against better sprinters fairly well, because of his high cycling IQ. This year, his main aim is the Giro D`Italia, where he hopes to claim the sprinters jersey, along with some stage-wins.
 Nick Van Der Valde
Being one of our 2 canadian guys, Nick is very important for our sponsors. His agility to ride on the cobblestones is unquestionable, and has a decent kick at the end of a hilly day. In thsi season he`ll be aiming for the Cobbled Classics, but he`ll also have a shot at the Canadian UCI World Tour events at the end of the season.
Steve Moore
Our welshman, is one of the best guys against, the clock, but his total climbing ability equals 0, so the GTs are not his playground. This year, he`ll try to make in impact in the World Championships, and the Tour of Britain, along with some flattish races.
 Vitaly Solodovnikov
Our russian rider Vitaly is a very talented hilly rider, who especially likes the Ardennes terrain. He will be mainly used as a domestique for our big guns, but he`ll try to hunt for some GT stages, when he doesn`t have to be with his leader.
Gary Sutton
Gary is a beast when he rides on the TT-bike, and he is also decennt in the Mountains. The problem is that his recovery is very slow, so he can`t handle long races too well. This year his main focus will be in France, in the Paris - Nice and the Tour de France.
 John Clemson
John is one of our biggest talents, his potential is very high, and he handles longer distances also with ease. This year he`ll mainly be focusing on the American races, such as Tour of California or the USAPCC. There`s a chance that he`ll ride the Vuelta too, but this way, he`ll have to skip the USAPCC. It`ll be a hard choice that`s for sure. He`ll often be used also as a leadoutmen.
 Jan Mellberg
Jan is our most important mountain domestique. The leaders in the Giro D`Italia will mostly rely on him in the mountains, so we need him to have a good time during the Giro. Jan will also be in top condition during the early season, and he`ll try to snatch some good results in March.
Andrzej Piasecki
Andrzej, the brother of Bartosz is one of the biggest talents of cycling. He already showed some sign of ability, when he won the Tour D`Avenir in 2011. He`ll try to help us mostly on throughout the Tour de France, but be sure there`ll be some KOM - hunting from him through the whole season.
Mate Gombocz
The hungarian guy is a great all-rounder, he can lead the team in smaller races because of his good hilling and superior TT ability. He is always happy to participate in the leadout trains, so Bartosz can rely on him during the Tour de France. (and basically everywhere else)
 Daisuke Yoshinabe
Daisuke is the biggest name in Japanese cycling. He is always happy to work for the others, but when he has a chance he grabs it hard. He is the perfect winner type, so we hope he can keep that while riding for us. He is one of the most important pieces in our TDF green jersey hunting.
Alex DeLarge
Alex is an incredibly complex helper. He can be a leadout train alone, but he handles the cobbles well, and he is also great on the TT-bike! His main aim is the Giro, where he`ll help Bahr.
Mark Noble
Did you see Jason? They`re very similar, so be careful not to mix-up them.  He is also part of Bartosz`s leadout.
 Erik van den Meer
Erik is our ageing helper, but he brings lots of experience with him. He can help us at a very high level. Watch out for him in the Giro! 
Peter Pal
Our 3rd hungarian guy is very similar to Bourne and Noble, but he is a little faster. He`ll also aim for the cobbles, but he`ll also be part of our monster train in the Tour de France.
Tomasz Kowalski
Tomasz is the perfect leasoutman. He will aim for helpng Bahr to victory at both of the Giro/ Vuelta. But if Bahr doesn`t feel good, he`ll finish it for himself.
Bob Bobson
 Egoi De la Fuente
Dennis Groen
Benjámin Nagy
Keith Moore
Vizhordo Bela
 Michael Kern Junior
 Rolando Peruzato
 Zai Ti
Dávid Bányai
Here is the full squad:

After each stage the Directour Sportif will pick a rider, who gets the "Spider of the day" award. This gives the rider 1/2/3/4/5 point. I will make a scoreboard in the 4th post, so you can follow your points. Oh and if you only have a domestique, then there is nothing to worry, domestiques can also get points for their hard work. The maximum points to get on a stage is 5. It's possible that 5 riders share the points, but no half points. I hope the game is clear for everybody.

Did you see our squad in the document? If yes, how you like it? I`m thinking about sending one more MO helper, but I don`t know who.  |

No, I couldn't open it, ERROR 404 ITEM NOT FOUND, it said.
Could you possibly just attach it as a .doc document? |

Seems good enough for me. In my opinion, the leaders have got to do it themselves in the mountains, I never bring much mountain helpers |

Wiles will be happy at the Giro with Puskaric, provided he is allowed to attack when he is feeling good. Same applies to the Vuelta and Jakab
Bourne just wants to help people get to the line in 1st, so yeah thats good.
