Soren Waerenskjold enters the final stage in the race lead and as the man to beat when it comes to this specifically, although he is not yet fully safe from a very explosive and in-form Jhonatan Narváez. However with this profile it will be very hard to take back any time on the Norwegian, race leader since the opening prologue. Milan has not won a stage yet and he has his final opportunity here; but has Matthew Brennan (with Wout van Aert as a leadout) and Jordi Meeus (with Danny van Poppel as a leadout) as two incredibly strong contenders - although more can be considered.
