Is there a thread yet? :-)
Now that the circuit route has been released on Zwift and having ridden it (not that I'm any quick myself), I don't see a slight climber type winning despite the elevation gain. More of a powerful classics guy who can sprint after a long hard day. Especially in bad weather. The climbs are not that steep. Very draggy type inclines, with an uphill sprint to the line. Almost like Plouay type finishing circuit.
The favourites for the men would be anyone who is good in April :-)
The favourites for the women would be anyone who's Dutch :-) Or Coryn Rivera.
Or a powerful TT-er who can attack maybe 1.5 laps out and hold it to the line.
