Yeah but at the time Zomegnan was in charge.
The 2016 Roccaraso stage, which should be relatively similar in run-in and climb difficulty, was also categorised as mid-mountain though.

If it isn't a Madonna della Guardia MTF finish though, something along the lines of the 2015 La Spezia stage still seems a realistic prospect.

It can be a biit arbitrary, like Campo Felice 2021 being a mountain stage, but judging by the road stage that Ganna won in 2020 as well as San Giacomo 2021 this should be classified as medium mountain all day any day

~200 m vertical gain for the hilltop finish?

I'll need the planimetry to understand which road they're taking in Visegrad but whatever they've decided the scenery is beautiful there.

No surprises for the ITT.

Ineos will probably send him to the Tour, but Carapaz at the Giro could IMO happen.
GC Kuss will be inevitable.

Mostly because Jumbo are seriously lacking in the "GC riders who are ass at TTs" department.

Perhaps most excitingly, #Freelanda can start in the off season this year already

Kuss is too important for the TdF team and too inconsistent in GTs.
Jumbo doesn't care that much about Giro and Groenewegen wants a GT.
Replace Bennett with Oomen and Martens with Eenkhoorn/Roosen and you'll get the Jumbo team.
