Was it already rumoured that there would be a 40km ITT in Tuscany?

Will we see a Remco & Vingegaard friendly parcours? Lots of tt kms, which also would bring Italy's favourite son, Ganna to the start.

The is no Remco AND Jonas friendly parcours if both are present. Lots of TT kms, good for Remco. Few TT kms, good for Jonas

Lots of ITT kms and multiple multi high mountain stages?

A long 50-km TT (climbing Fauniera and finishing in sankt. Anna d' Vinadio) should favor both Remco and Vingo, no?

That's good for Remco, not good for Jonas compared to him if both are there. There's no way to not lose significant time if you're Jonas and it's not MTT

From what we've seen it the Tour, Vingegaard won't lose more than 3 (I'm leaning towards 2 minutes max, but whatever) minutes even with 100 km of ITT.
He can close that time in 2 tough high mountain stages, so no. That's not good for Evenepoel.
