My goal is to make 4 good races. seems easy to say, but it is a very difficult challenge. "
Richard Freitag: "After I had rested up in Engelberg and I feel fit and are highly motivated to make good jumps during the Tour. Before I jumped in to stop the'' last time just in Oberstdorf, so I'm confident about the first race. Surely they are not among the favorites, given the few jumps in the autumn, but the situation could play to my advantage. "
Andreas Wellinger: "It will be my second Tournéee everything is in order for it to succeed.'m Fine and I feel fit.'s Second place Engelberg has shown that they are on the right track.

The last year I finished sixth and in 2007 - 08'' even went up on the final podium, placing to third. Oberstdorf is the my trampoline at home, I know him well and will be special gareggiarvi. I have good memories of Garmisch-Partenkirchen because it is where I got my first podium of his career. Located in Innsbruck I have always suffered, but in recent years I have improved my performance . Bischofshofen trampoline is my absolute favorite and I love gareggiarvi. "
Marinus Kraus: "It will be my second Tour after that of 2011. My goal is to have fun and above all to compete in all 4 stages.

Besides Richard Freitag and Severin Freund, who have become the landmarks of the German leap in recent years, we can now also count on another young athlete which Andreas Wellinger. Having won 5 podiums with four different athletes believe that we can fight for victory on every trampoline. Regarding the overall standings, the first speculations can be made only after the stage of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. certainly will not be a challenge to two of Germany and Austria. As we have seen so far also Poland, Norway, Switzerland and Japan'' will have the opportunity to strive for success. "
