GOURAV Cycling Tips

A Niedermaier is predicted to win. While both riders are strong climbers, Niedermaier has demonstrated superior form in recent stage races, including winning the Best Young Rider classification at both the 2025 UAE Tour Women and the Itzulia Women, and placing 5th overall in the Giro d'Italia Women.

Liane Lippert is predicted to win. While Kimberley Le Court has had a remarkable year with victories at Liège-Bastogne-Liège and a stage of the Tour de France Femmes, Lippert's consistency at a top level is superior. Lippert has had podium finishes in multiple World Tour races in 2025, demonstrating a more reliable form.

Noemi Ruegg is predicted to win. She has had a strong 2025 season, including a victory at the Tour Down Under and a podium at Sanremo. While Cat Ferguson has also had recent success with wins at the Navarra Women Elite Classic and the Tour of Britain Women, Ruegg's performance at World Tour level gives her the edge.

Tobias Lund Andresen is predicted to win. Biniam Girmay has had a challenging 2025 season with no wins as of April. In contrast, Tobias has a recent podium finish at the Tour de France and a stage win at the Tour of Utkrye, suggesting better form.

Jhonattan Narváez is predicted to win. He has a stronger track record in one-day races, having won the 2025 Tour Down Under and the Deutschland Tour. His recent victory showcases his finishing speed and race craft, making him a more reliable pick than Romain Grégoire.

Jan Christen is predicted to win because of his superior recent form in one-day classics. While both riders are from the same team, Christen's second place at Donostia San Sebastian Klasikoa and third place at the HP Gippingen demonstrate a consistent performance in this type of race, which gives him the edge.

Jonas is predicted to win due to his recent success in one-day races. He has won the Circuit Franco Belge and the Muur Classic Geraardsbergen and also secured a stage win at the Tour de France in 2025. This momentum suggests he is in better form than Paul Lapeira, despite Lapeira's recent stage win at the Tour de Pologne.

Julian Alaphilippe is predicted to win the Bretagne Classic Ouest France because of his historical success in hilly one-day races. While Thibau Nys is a strong contender, Alaphilippe's experience and specific skill set for this type of course as a two-time world champion and three-time Flèche Wallonne winner give him the edge.
