Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Demi Vollering (FDJ SUEZ) are the top favourites for the Strade Bianche this Saturday, and trailing behind them is a second group of contenders, including Tom Pidcock and Elisa Longo Borghini.

However, there is a third group comprising underdogs and wildcards. I have selected 10 riders across the women’s and men’s races who have caught my attention in recent weeks and have the potential to create one or two surprises.
