Henok Mulubrhan
Mulubrhan is the most complete stage-race answer here if the week is decided by consistency on every terrain.
Victor Langellotti
Langellotti thrives in hilly stage races where repeated punch matters more than one summit finish.
Dylan Teuns
Teuns is still built for Italian terrain that rewards uphill explosiveness and tactical timing.
Lorenzo Finn
Finn has the climbing engine to rise quickly if the race turns more selective than expected.
Axel Laurance
Laurance gives the race a high-speed wildcard if reduced sprints decide key stages.
