Where the contest is won. Four kinds: polka-dot hunters (Carapaz, Lenny Martinez, Ciccone, Storer, Paret-Peintre, Arensman) who score on every mountain day; breakaway foxes (Cort, Mohorič, Healy, Campenaerts, Izagirre, Abrahamsen) who get up the road and stay; GC outsiders (Ayuso, C. Rodríguez, Jorgenson, O'Connor, Johannessen) who bank steady top-ten points; and second-string fast men (Matthews, Girmay, Kooij, Groves) for the hilly sprints.
Munro's verdict: take one polka-dot climber and one breakaway fox — two scoring lines the favourites never touch, at 1.5×. The col doesn't care who ye drafted, but it rewards the brave.
