About this time last year, Grant Thornton led by Douglas McKenzie was the heavy favorite for the Sprint Classification of Race of the Minuteman though it was the team's first ever tour. Now coming into RotM this year, after winning the SC here and finishing 3rd in the SC of the Norway Tour, one could argue he is not even a threat to defend his title. Not many experts expected 8 teams to enter with sprinters in a tour built for the climbers. With the likes of Flanders Fields, LFC Rado Team, the many weapons on Optimus Prime, Vitória FC, and all of TJ Banik OKD, there will be many riders looking to win the 2 available sprint stages. Because of the parity, this may be the year where a dominant climber with TT ability could steal glory from the sprinters. Only time will tell

I think it is difficult to say that before stage 6. I remember Sabri beating Talati Lima only in the last stage. You never know until the end.
Winning the final stage and top 5 in the second stage could be enough this edition.
Good Luck. And you are probably right in not winning it. But a stage victory is also nice
