Giro 2026 Favourites stage 15: For fast men #5

Only flat roads throughout the entire stage, and in the finale they are as straight as a ruler. On top of that, the riders cross the finish line a few times before the actual finish, allowing them to recon the finale in detail.

It would be a huge surprise if the fast men don’t fight for the stage honours in Milan.
