The latter, which is 21 kilometers from the finish, should create the first significant gaps in this Tour of the Alps. The arrival will take place in the valley, on flat ground.<\/p>\n<h2>The favorites of the stage<\/h2>\n<p>Renowned as short and intense, this first stage of the Tour des Alpes should see a battle between favorites. The Italian Giulio Pellizzari (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) but also the title holder, the Australian Michael Storer (Tudor), should play the leading roles. Obviously, the Briton Tom Pidcock (Pinarello Q36.5) is eagerly awaited after missing the Amstel Gold Race. He will try to ideally prepare Li\u00e8ge-Bastogne-Li\u00e8ge. The Colombian Egan Bernal (INEOS Grenadiers) and the Canadian Derek Gee-West (Lidl-Trek) will also want to do well on this stage in order to get into the fray on the right foot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new week begins as the cycling season is in full swing.
