I had a quick scan but don't really know many. James isn't riding, neither is Emma Pooley. Chris Hall has done some 24hrs and is in a few of Francis Cade's videos, Ed Wolstenholme I know (he's probably laughing his arse off at the thought of me riding off-road), Jeff Kerkove is a bit of a hitter from the US gravel and MTB scene I think, Mattia de Marchi has done a bunch of stuff (was he a pro roadie once? Looks it: https://www.procyclingstats.com/rider/mattia-de-marchi), Richard Gate rings a bell - maybe a HT550 rider or maybe we've crossed paths before?, didn't Richard Germperle get himself up into the top 10 in the last TCR (at least before cracking)? Sam Thomas has done AMR before, I know from a couple of TCRs and went further than anyone in @skinny Spirit of Girona (I wonder if he's packing spare tubes this time?), Wendy Ellis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCsy08i0muo
) is usually writing race reports but must be doing some riding too (I should pay more attention), the Lechuga dude from the USA I think raced with his missus last time...

OK - a few names to watch. I had heard of Ed Wolstenholme and Richard Gate. You are right, Robin Gemperle led the TCR last year at some point, but I was too focused on survival to notice what was happening at the front.
Good luck!

Mattia de Marchi
To not be confused with his cousin Alessandro who rides for Jayco.

Not many other familiar names. Torsten, that's about it for me. Who are the (other) favourites?
