- 1 p.m. 14. Favorites. No Mathieu van der Poel, but at Alpecin-Deceuninck they still have a famous iron in the fire with Jasper Philipsen. Other fast men who can go over a mountain: Alexander Kristoff (Intermarché-Wanty), Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ), Arnaud De Lie (Lotto-Soudal) and Bryan Coquard (Cofidis). For Fabio Jakobsen (Quick-Step – Alpha Vinyl) and Dylan Groenewegen (BikeExchange) the course is perhaps just too tough. It is better not to mention: Marco Haller (Bora-Hansgrohe), who may be bursting with confidence after Hamburg, and ex-winners Greg Van Avermaet (AG2R-Citroën) and Sep Vanmarcke (Israel – Premier Tech). .
