Get your Chianti ready we are heading to Tuscany! A classic battle for the ages with a stacked field heading into this Saturdays showdown, the first between Mathieu van der Poel and Wout Van Aert since Cyclocross worlds, this time with Wout being the defending champion of the race. They will have their work cut out to hold off 2019 winner Julian Alaphilippe and a series of early season stars including Tadej Pogacar, Tom Pidcock, Jakob Fuglsang, Bauke Mollema, Tim Wellens and ever dangerous Greg Van Avermaet. I rank the top 5 riders for Saturday.
