Pidcock hasn't really performed as well as we know he can in the hills. Filling in for Areruya again here, hoping for a great result

Not enough race days for Champoussin to try to repeat last year's podium, but we do have Formolo to keep the flag high.

This is far from a Lopez route imo and last year was underwhelming as well. Still, hilly and him on the startlist raises hope
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Seeing Meurisse or Calmejane on the podium here means there's some hope APP could also do well. He could also finish in 20th, so thrilled how the race will unfold.

Hopefully the startlist is strong enough that Hirschi doesn't have to burn himself out and can get a strong result here.

Probably too long for Aranburu to have success here, we'll just see what happens! Thanks for the preview!
