Wearing number 1 on his back, thanks to Mark Lorenzo Finn's victory in Kigali 2025, leading the Italian delegation is Alessandro Cattani, from Cislago in Varese, riding for Technipes Caffè Borbone, who already competed in Monday's world time trial, finishing in 23rd place. Alongside him is Florentine Riccardo Lorello of Padovani POLO Cherry Bank, Italian champion Mattia Negrente (XDS Astana Development) from Cerro Veronese, Mattia Proietti Gagliardoni from Perugia of Movistar Academy, Enea Sambinello from Bologna of UAE Team Emirates Gen Z and Matteo Scalco from Vicenza, also representing XDS Astana Development.

THE FAVOURITES. The field of contenders for the rainbow jersey is extensive and of the highest calibre. In the front row are the French riders Aubin Sparfel and Cantin Coudiere, alongside the highly talented Belgians Matisse Van Kerckhove, Jasper Schoofs and Matteo Vanhuffel. The spotlight is also on Germans Max Bock and Paul Fietzke, Spanish rider Hector Alvarez, Dutch rider Jurgen Zomermaand and Brazilian Henrique Bravo, winner of the Giro della Valle d'Aosta. Also worth watching closely are the British riders Elliot Rowe and William Smith.

Among the top outsiders are also the Danes Landbo and Biehl, Norwegian Kasper Haugland, Australians Rogers and Ward and American Barry.
