The names to keep in mind for the race are Vincent Luis y Richard Murray , podium in Hamburg. Murray already knows what it is to win in the test (2015) and a third place in 2016. It will also be necessary to take into account Kristian Blummenfelt y Jonathan Brownlee , who will surely make theirs in the cycling sector.

It will also be necessary to take into account Rachel Klamer , Vicky Holland (winner at 2015 in Edmonton), Andrea Hewitt Kirsten Kasper, Taylor Spivey , Jessica Learmonth , Jodie Stimpson o Non Standforf among other. In the test there is no Spanish presence.
