- Surprise runners. "The turn always hides two or three surprise runners. Among the candidates for victory, names that are not in the pools end. Yates or Thomas options.
- An open turn "I see an open turn and I think we are going to see war from the first moment. With the feet on the floor, Carapaz is the undisputed favorite. No cyclist can shade.

- To follow closely "Van der Poel is a huge incentive for the first week. Alejandro Valverde himself, who has always claimed more participation in the turn. I also see options to Iván Ramiro Sosa, who won in Asturias and is a little covered of Movistar. I do not forget Dumolin, who runs with a team, or Chaves, with a broker like Cort Nielsen de Gregario. And then there are those with which everyone counts: the Simon Yates, Bardet, López or Almeida. "
- Little chrono "For me, the chrono is the faithful reflection of the struggle of the cyclist against the road, against himself and against his rivals. Therefore, the 27 km of counterreloj this year in the turn seems ridiculous to me for a great return for Stages: 9 km on the second day and nothing more until the last stage, in Verona. "
