NO>
And please do NOT ask here again.
Any available team info was DELIBERATELY removed so that the teams themselves would be in no jeopardy.
Please respect that decision and DO NOT keep asking.

As of today, vaccinated Americans can visited all EU member states. Huge step forward to getting the show off the ground IMO.
theschnauzers:
Since the three legs already completed were in Europe, I tend we’ve a ways to go on that. Travelers are still going to have to prove they’ve been fully vaccinated, and of course there is rising concern about the Delta variant that’s spreading among people who aren’t vaccinated fully, and even fully vaccinated people have a one in ten chance of not been protected from that variant which was first discovered in India,
kyleisalive:
Not to mention it also doesn't apply to all EU nations. There are many still, like Sweden, that have fairly complicated requirements for entry-- especially non-essential entry-- that rely on your country of origin (of which the United States is not exempt).
Fast tracking non-essential travel for the sake of a reality TV show is a pretty awful thing to do in countries that have significantly low vaccination rates and it may be all the lousier when teams show up in countries that have tougher restrictions only to find that a lot more of the exciting tasks on the race would need to be replaced with lower-effort ones in light of extended closures at popular landmark sites, continued lockdowns, and early curfews.
Eagerness is one thing; impatience is harmful.
TAR will be one of the last regularly-filmed TV shows to resume production. Properly accounting not only for teams but for the hundreds of logistical elements (foreign and local crew) is going to take ages to resume in light of the pandemic. If it's rushed and goes poorly, it only sets the whole thing back further, and continually stop-starting it will kill it.

I thought only 2 legs were completed and they were in the middle of filming leg 3 when production got suspended.
