Favorites
Guillaume Martin
Martin is a natural fit for a French uphill one-day race built around a selective final climb.
Victor Lafay
Lafay can win here if the final is tactical rather than purely a climbers drag race.
Emanuel Buchmann
Buchmann remains one of the cleaner pure-climbing answers on this profile.
Lenny Martinez
Martinez is always relevant if the race turns into a sharp uphill acceleration contest.
Jesus Herrada
Herrada has the late-climb timing to benefit if the favorites hesitate too long.
