There are a few key names to look out for. Firstly, 2024 winner Katarzyna Niewiadoma of Poland. There is also the American Olympic roadrace champion Kristen Faulkner and her compatriot Chloé Dygert. Keep an eye out for two-time Italian Giro d’Italia winner Elisa Longo Borghini and Demi Vollering, who won the Vuelta de España this year and was second in this race last year.
