The Movistar couple Enric Mas-Alejandro Valverde, with the first winner of the Giro dell’Emilia, is in great shape, while Vincenzo Nibali (Astana-Qazaqstan) will also be present, flanked by Miguel Angel Lopez.

Also present were Adam Yates and Carlos Rodriguez of INEOS Grenadiers, Domenico Pozzovivo of Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert, and Joao Almeida of UAE Team Emirates.

12.16 We remind you that today’s race has a respectable starting list. The presence of Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) stands out, who after second place in the Giro dell’Emilia wants to test his condition again in view of the Giro di Lombardia. Attention also to Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe), always formidable, and also to Lorenzo Fortunato (Eolo-Kometa), who distinguished himself in Emilia with a good sixth place.
