Among the favorites to the general classification we find the 2020 UAE Tour winner, Adam Yates (1000) and the 2020 Tour de France winner, Tadej Pogačar (1200). Along with them, the main names for GC are Vincenzo Nibali (800), João Almeida (800), Sergio Higuita (600), Sepp Kuss (600), Alexey Lutsenko (600), Wout Poels (600), Emanuel Buchmann (600), Patrick Konrad (600) and Rigoberto Uran (400).
