The breakaways are now starting to rise again. For the strong climbers like Mollema, Kelderman, Taaramäe or Hamilton it will be important to distance the strong sprinters like Van der Poel, Consonni, Vendrame and Ballerini at an early stage. But with two helpers in the group, it becomes difficult to distance Van der Poel decisively. Especially since the ascent to La Colletta should not be difficult enough. If you want to beat Van der Poel, it would be important to isolate him from his helpers and force him to work on the last flat kilometers.
