Pogačar will debut his newly won rainbow jersey, after securing his first World Championship title in Switzerland, a dream he has long pursued. Both riders are in spectacular form, with Pogačar coming off a remarkable season that includes his Tour de France and Giro d’Italia victories.

The Belgian will have a strong team to support him, including top climbers like Tiesj Benoot and Tim Wellens, which could be a key advantage on the hilly course in Italy. Pogačar, meanwhile, may rely heavily on his own brilliance, as his Slovenian teammates, including Primož Roglič, have their own ambitions
This race sets the stage for what could be the beginning of an iconic rivalry, with both riders aiming to assert dominance in the sport’s most prestigious events.
