Favorites
Demi Vollering
Vollering is still the safest top pick in a women's puncheurs classic with repeated climbing pressure.
Elisa Longo Borghini
Longo Borghini thrives when tactical one-day climbing and late strength decide the race.
Puck Pieterse
Pieterse gives the race a more explosive script if the key move comes from a violent uphill surge.
Liane Lippert
Lippert is always relevant in the Ardennes-style week if the finish comes from a small elite group.
Mischa Bredewold
Bredewold becomes more dangerous if the race is raced hard but not purely as a climbers contest.
