Who are the favorites to win the overall title?

Primož Roglič (Team Jumbo – Visma) starts as the first favorite after winning every race he entered this year. The team behind him looks strong and mature enough to support him to the final finish line.

Other top contenders are the local favourite Vincenzo Nibali along with stars like Simon Yates and Tom Dumoulin.

One thing is certain. The following three weeks will be highly interesting and entertaining.
