Yeah that's an insanely stacked field.

Only Seixas really missing, but yeah he would demolish everyone so this is better. Nordhagen my favorite if he doesn't get sick. Widar of course too. Parcours isn't super hard (no real multi mountain stages).

Torres missing too, he will be there in Avenir (he said in the beginning of the year that it will be a target).

Yeah I kinda forgot about him cause I thought he fully went pro (which hasn't been really working so far imo). Avenir is gonna be insane if Seixas participates, but at this point I'm starting to think Decathlon might send him to Vuelta. And I'm not sure if Norway is riding Avenir this time? Are they still to broke?

I think all WT riders (on teams with associated devo teams) from 2003 or later can participate, so even Del Toro could ride the baby Giro.

I don't think Norway will ride Avenir.

I don't think Decathlon are stupid enough to send an 18-year-old to a GT. Especially not given how much they've (sensibly) limited his number of race days so far.
Why not? Could pull him out on the first test day if they feel he is getting too fatigued and that would be just the same as doing the Dauphine.

Torres has not been that bad now has he. Around the top-25 in WT courses like Australië, Catalunya and Romandie and a podium at a small race like Abruzzo.

Crashed out in Hungary unfortunately. I think it is decent, not great.
