Here we are at the last race of the World Tour season: the Tour of Guangxi is back, a race that will take place in China with six stages starting on Tuesday 15 October (stage arrivals in the morning in Italian time).

The program includes at least three sprints, a couple of fairly undulating stages (nothing particularly difficult) and a single uphill finish, in Nongla, which last year was already decisive for the general classification. The winner was Milan Vader , who then took first place on the final podium ahead of Remy Rochas and Hugh Carthy.

This year the start list is struggling to be completed with many second-rate riders at the start.

Among the 'big names' are Lennert Van Eetvelt, one of the protagonists of the season thanks to his success at the Uae Tour and seventh at the recent Lombardia, Jhonathan Narvaez who should make the rankings for Ineos, Tim Wellens and Pavel Sivakov, who will try to bring home yet another success in 2024 for Uae Emirates, and the DSM duo composed of Oscar Onley and Max Poole, youngsters looking for confirmation of their winning streak also in the World Tour.

We also note the presence of Lutsenko, Schachmann, Baudin, Vader, Blackmore (winner of the Tour de l'Avenir) and Giovanni Aleotti who could be the Red Bull Bora general classification man.

For the sprints there will be Marijn Van den Berg, Lamperti, Molano, Kanter, Fretin, Van Uden, Vernon and Jakobsen.
