Key contenders Jai Hindley (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) and Felix Gall (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) are expecting an open and aggressive race at this week's Tour of the Alps, as one of the final pre-Giro d'Italia tests kicks off on Monday.
Though Hindley, Tiberi, and Gall come to the race with favourite status, it's a label that perhaps means less than ever at this race, with a very strong start list assembling in Trentino and five short, punchy stages that are challenging but not too demanding.
