It's the battle of the Yates brothers. But other then them there are also an ssortment of other GC talent. Higuita, Bardet and Lutsenko have all been in great form.
Also the long awaited return of young Juan Ayuso, who was 3rd last year in the Vuelta at the age of 19.
Last year it was Vlasov...
The roles are reversed. Pog is racing, Wout and MVDP are not. He is hot off of winning Tour of Flanders, but there are others to challenge him.
Last year it was Kwiatkowski, the former world champ, who won it in a head to head against Cosnefroy. The group with MVDP came in 20 seconds behind...
The best non-monument race, which should by now be a monument. It's always exciting and hard racing, with lots of gravel and climbing.
Wout and Pog won't be here unfortunately, so can anyone beat Matthieu Van Der Poel?
Notable mentions: MVDP, Bilbao, Vlasov, Mohoric, Pidcock, Sheffield, Benoot...
