Who will follow up Simon Yates as the winner of this beautiful one week stagerace?

What you've all been waiting for (I decided to not open a new thread, though):

Stage 1: Three early, tough climbs, then flat, no wind, normally sprint but who knows if the Strade guys drill it early? I do and say sprint.
Stage 2: Uphill finish but on a very gentle slope, no wind, puncheur finale (5 percent), Sagan to show the world that the new crop is better than him, me going to cry :(
Stage 3: A little bit hilly, a little bit flat, possible rain, flat sprint after a little bit of uphill, handle-able for most sprinters.
Stage 4: Tough MTF after a weak-ass HC climb, non-rain, non-wind, non-sprint, Wout for top 15, keeping alive his GC.
Stage 5: 14 hills in the final half, ridiculously tough stage, think Recanati-stage from 2019 but harder, if Strade guys want to play early, it could be the best stage all year.
Stage 6: Not typically Tirreno flat but flat enough for a sprint, one would think, but maybe some sprinters will be dropped.
Stage 7: We all know who's Ganna win here.

You do realise you're now legally required to do that for every race, right?

good mix of flat sprints, hilly sprints and a mt stage and a short tt.

Be interesting to see if Van Aert can ride a GC. I think it will be hard since he's not completely in great shape yet.

I think his shape is pretty good. He dropped Pogacar, who dominated the UAE tour, in the final km's of Strade. He wasn't able to follow the 3 best because he didn't have that acceleration yet, but it was his first race. I think a top 10 is possible. ITT is only 10k, but maybe he can snatch some boni seconds on top of that.
