Bahrain-Victorius heads into 2026 with a desire for redemption.

The most demanding rider will be Lenny Martinez at 25 ; disappointing so far in the Grand Tours, the Frenchman has instead shown he can hold his own in short stage races and the tough classics.

Immediately behind are two men at 21: Bilbao , for the last moves of his career, and Tiberi , with ambitions and a desire for redemption.

Buitrago at 16 and Bauhaus at 15 close the list of the top seeds.

A bet, after two complicated years, could be Mohoric at 11 fantamillions, as well as Caruso at 7 for those who believe in a perfect end to the Sicilian's career.

Finally, among the low-cost riders we would like to point out: Zambanini (4), Valter (4), Segaert (3), Eulalio (3) and the very young Slovenian Omrzel (2).
