Isaac del Toro
Del Toro is the kind of elite all-round climber who can dominate a new Italian stage race if the route is selective enough.
Antonio Tiberi
Tiberi fits any Italian GC test that rewards steady climbing and disciplined stage-race pacing.
Christian Scaroni
Scaroni gives the race a more aggressive punchy-climber route to victory if the stages stay short and explosive.
Lorenzo Fortunato
Fortunato rises quickly in any Italian week where longer climbs settle the GC.
Giulio Ciccone
Ciccone remains a dangerous wildcard whenever climbing stages offer freedom rather than rigid control.
