The course is really hard this year, with a huge amount of climbing in the final 100 kms.
The form of a lot of the favourites is unknown, such as Dan Martin, Alaphillipe, Valverde, Poels, so it's hard to predict who'll be in contention but it's rare that a race as tough and prestigious as this is one by an outsider (like Oliver Zaugg a few years ago).
