Some absolutely superb mountain categorisation roulette going on here.

This is the race that had it's hardest climb without a category some years ago.

I love the randomness of the categorisations.

Here's the startlist in an easier readable version:

And don't forget this race will mark the return of the one and only:

Spoiler: BIG REVEAL BEHIND THIS

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The same three riders plus perhaps Pellizzari will battle it out again methinks, but this time aero Arensman will come out on the top step.
If Pidcock can rider himself into some form, he should be able to take a descent victory on stage 5.

Storer is flying and my selection to go back-to-back.

 

[Potomac]

Look out world.
Sean Quinn is wearing the 1 for EF

Why the hell is Pidcock in the startlist?
Dude is injured yet is in the startlist of 3 different race at the same time.
Anyway, looking froward to see Pellizzari on long climbs

[Devil's Elbow]

Not the greatest route they've ever put together, but the final stage could be a cracker if the GC situation is right.

It's not I agree, but because the teams are small without much depth the 'biggest climb in the middle' has created a lot of success over the past couple of years.

It could be a fun race – attacks in the middle, smallish groups without domestiques, tactical finales over the easier terrain

 

[Mayomaniac]

The final descent on stage 5 is scary, at least on open roads with motorized traffic.
Two +180 degree corners inside 2 tunnels, you feel like a sitting duck that could be hit by a car coming from behind too fast.
I rather wreck my brakes on the +25 degree gradients of thd secondary roads than having to use the main one.
