As the mutants are still on the Critérium du Dauphiné which overlaps with this race (for one day!), this Tour de Suisse should be much more open.
Skjelmose🇩🇰, who won the race 2 years ago, should have been the main favourite but he isn’t showing up on this race either, after cancelling his participation on the Dauphiné. Therefore, Almeida (🇵🇹 UAE) becomes the favourite.

tadej is a mutant, for sure.
