Jenno Berckmoes (Belgium) is a 400-point rider on the Cycling Fantasy App and he would be a top addition to your fantasy teams. The Belgian rider is one of the fast finishers in the field who can also climb at a solid level. 

There are, of course, a lot of factors that will have to be taken into account for Berckmoes due to the demanding nature of the main ascent of the parcours, but there's no reason why he cannot be competing for a top ten finish in a reduced group.

Berckmoes' recent run of form has seen several top-ten placings, which also included a top victory on stage 3 of the Renewi Tour, which included the Muur, as the Lotto-Intermarché rider held off the roaring peloton.

Berckmoes will perhaps look to repeat that feat on Sunday, potentially catching a snoozing peloton or if all their attention is laid on the Belgian star man Remco Evenepoel.

Ludovico Crescioli is developing into a real talent in Italian cycling. The 22-year-old, riding for Polti VisitMalta earned himself a WorldTour contract with French outfit Groupama FDJ-United for 2026 after impressing throughout the season.

Crescioli first came to the limelight in the 2026 season, when he performed well in several breakaways, including on the muro stage 11, where he finished 7th.

Other examples of Crescioli's climbing and punchy prowess can be seen most recently at the Arctic Race of Norway, where the Italian finished second on the final stage in Narvik ahead of several solid puncheurs, including Maglia Azzurra winner, Guillermo Thomas Silva and Lennert van Eetvelt.

The short and steep 2-kilometre climb which features in this race could see Crescioli in a position to compete and also support the Italian leader Giulio Pellizzari come the end of the race.

Pau Miquel (Spain) had a home Grand Tour he can be proud of. Finishing second on stage 2 behind Matthew Brennan in a sprint, and finishing fourth on the unforgiving stage 20 from the breakaway, highlights just how versatile Miquel is as a rider.

For just 200 points, there's no real risk involved with picking up the 26-year-old Spaniard for your team, and the reward could be big as we see him surviving the climbs with no real stress.

If it comes down to a reduced group, then, like the aforementioned Berckmoes, 

If there's one word to describe Marc Hirschi and it is inconsistency, or if you are familiar with some things you've seen online, then Gennaro Gattuso's infamous quote of 'Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit' springs to mind.

Let's not forget, that Hirschi has won a Tour de France stage and other top races, including San Sebastian and La Flèche Wallonne, so there is real quality there, but he needs to bring that level back. Can he do that in Slovenia?

We think so, and with some glimmers of light in his 2026 season, there's no reason why he cannot achieve a result similar to his 2021 Euros appearance, where he finished 6th.

For 400 points value, he is worth the punt.

Sticking with the theme of Tudor Pro Cycling riders, the last rider in our five riders is Marco Brenner (Germany). Still only 24 years old and with five years of pro cycling behind him, he has the wealth of experience necessary to achieve results.

And so did the German do so in the Vuelta, writing himself into the folklore of the Sierra de la Pandera with a victory from the breakaway and finally achieving his Grand Tour breakthrough; can he use that momentum on Sunday, as he can cover all angles of victories and placings, especially with his ability in reduced situations.

Again, for the low price of just 400 credits, we think that Brenner might just be the best value in the entire Cycling Fantasy selections.
