How it should race: The GC should be protected before the sprint teams take over on the final circuit.
Likely winner profile: Pure sprinter with enough support left after three weeks.
Favorites: Jonathan Milan, Paul Magnier, Kaden Groves, Casper Van Uden, Dylan Groenewegen, Arnaud De Lie. This list is built from the current official team rosters and the route profile, with extra weight on the Giro’s own GC and stage-preview notes where available.
