The Catalan rider, Enric Mas Nicolau, will also fancy its chances to win and take on the table topper, Evenepeol.

Along with these two spearheads, Joao Almeida will also be fancying its chances to win and the UAE team into the final clash. The Portuguese rider has managed to pull off some consistent performances this season and is likely to win the race in the final phase.
