Lol Superman Lopez at 4000metres altitude climbing against the Asian peloton
For what we know the Chinese teams could sign some random Sputniks for this race (Frolov or bust!) and the climbing performances of some of the Western (and Australian) guys on the bigger Asian PCT teams are pretty good.

That said, it would be a lot more fun if the Iranian teams were still what they used to be...

It's already started. Hengxiang have signed Maris Bogdanovics from Latvia (they already have long-time China-based Anris Vosekalns); Li Ning Star have a random Briton, a couple of Belarusians and have signed Roniel Campos; Pingtan Tourism Island have signed long time Gazprom-RusVelo man Roman Maikin; and Yunnan Lvshan Landscape have signed three Colombians, Óscar Pachón, Steven Cuesta and Néstor Rueda.

What do you think Lyu Xianjing can do? He seems to have finally recovered this year some of the level he showed in 2019 and that was lost during the pandemic period.

If Tachira Campos shows up things could get interesting...
He's already training at high altitude in China, so it really shouldn't be a problem for him. Still, it would be nice if Rikunov and Froolov would also race this one to mix things up.

Atem Nych ended up a Glassdrive-Q8 and is probably gonna light up the Volta.
