Like every CT mountain race this season, Galta is the top climber present! He might have to play catch up after Stage 1 though, as his team as in the midfield when it comes to TTT strength! Munoz and Habtemichael might be the real gainers from the TTT, although it remains to be seen if Munoz can stay with his team on Stage 1! The likes of Buitrago and Cattaneo are also expected to feature near the top with their skill and TTT combos.
Climbing field is so deep in CT this year, Osorio not even on the favorites list, will need a good TTT to have a chance. Need to be better than we were in Lithuania.
