There are no big surprises on the men's start list. However, we were looking forward to finding out which domestiques top favorite Tadej Pogacar would be taking with him. The so-called entry list includes Jhonatan Narváez, Tim Wellens, Nils Politt, Brandon McNulty, Domen Novak, and Vegard Stake Laengen. However, McNulty fell ill in Paris-Nice and could be replaced by Isaac del Toro.
The other favorites have no more surprises in store. For Alpecin-Deceuninck, Mathieu van der Poel and Jasper Philipen will have Kaden Groves and Gianni Vermeersch at their side, while Mads Pedersen and Jonathan Milan will compete with former winner Jasper Stuyven. Filippo Ganna and Tom Pidcock are more leaders in their formations.
Visma | Lease a Bike is counting on Olav Kooij as its absolute leader in Wout van Aert's absence. The Belgian is still at an altitude training camp in Tenerife. Christophe Laporte, who has been battling a virus for some time, will not participate.

Besides the men's race, we will also enjoy the first edition of the women's race. Judging by the field of participants, Milan-Sanremo will also be immediately recognized as a Monument. Lotte Kopecky will make her seasonal debut on behalf of SD Worx-Protime alongside riders such as Lorena Wiebes. Still, with riders such as Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez) and Marianne Vos (Visma | Lease a Bike), there are plenty of other contenders. On Saturday, we will know who will go down in the history books as the first winner of Milan-Sanremo for women.

- Does XEFI’s investment mean the team will have more money to sign riders, or is it mainly a sponsorship and naming change? And is Roglič expected to race much next season?jeremya11-11-2026
- If the roster is nearly complete, why bring up Roglič at all? Feels like the article is turning a firm “no” into a transfer rumour.andrewf11-11-2026
- Wuling is no joke—105 km of climbing to 3,275 metres is brutal. Five minutes off Dyball’s record is still an incredible ride.velodromevirtuoso111-11-2026
- Roglič at TotalEnergies would be a fascinating move, but Heulot sounds pretty clear that it isn’t happening. His experience could be a massive boost for the younger riders, though.jennifer1911-11-2026
- Eight riders told to go for stages, and nobody gets one—hard to know what the plan was there. It’ll be interesting to see whether they pick a clear leader next time.bikebuffj10-11-2026
- Was Bernal’s 20th place really their best GC result? I thought he might have finished higher. Either way, it sounds like a rough Tour for the whole team.gearguru3310-11-2026
- Five days in breaks with no stage win is a painful stat. The team had chances, but they need to turn those opportunities into results.julien10-11-2026
- The Onley Vuelta example makes sense: a team with someone to rally around often looks much more cohesive. Hopefully INEOS can build on that rather than expecting a quick return to the Sky years.cadencekingm10-11-2026
- Thomas is right about the ambiguity. Eight riders all chasing stages can end up pulling in different directions, even if nobody’s deliberately working against anyone. They need a clearer plan once the GC leaders are out.robert6510-11-2026
