Italy is among the favorites and arrives at this challenge with seven riders: the Verbania natives Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) and Francesca Barale (Team Picnic PostNL), the Bergamo rider Silvia Persico (UAE Team ADQ), the Turin native Eleonora Camilla Gasparrini (UAE Team ADQ), the Trentino rider Barbara Malcotti (Human Powered Health), the Vicenza native Soraya Paladin (CANYON SRAM zondacrypto) and the Valtellina native Monica Trinca Colonel (Liv Jayco AlUla).

It's a well-structured national team entirely focused on Longo Borghini. After all, Elisa is perhaps the only one capable of holding her own against the competitors, and the course also favors her. Longo has so far collected three bronze medals (Zurich 2024, Imola 2020, and Valkenburg 2012), and is seeking gold. She will have teammates well-disposed to work for the right cause. The only doubt concerns Trinca Colonel and Paladin, who, having spent a lot of energy in both the individual time trial and mixed relay, might feel the fatigue.

On the opponents' front, the French rider Ferrand Prevot is to be feared, revitalized by her triumph in the Tour de France and Paris-Roubaix. Then, as always happens in these circumstances, eyes are on the Dutch riders, particularly Vollering and Van Der Breggen. We also know that the Polish rider Niewiadoma will "cause some chaos", while the Swiss Reusser is more determined than ever to win her second world jersey after her time trial success. Attention should also be paid to her compatriot Chabbey. Germany will pin its hopes on Lippert and Niedermaier, Australia on Chapman, Hungary on Vas, Colombia on Patino, and Belgium on Vanpachtenbeke.
