Gilbert won the race in 2009 and 2010. His 2009 victory came ahead of Sanchez, who was racing for Euskaltel-Euskadi at the time. In 2010 he beat Michele Scarponi.
Gilbert appears to be in good form for the final WorldTour race of the season, having placed 10th at the World Championship road race last Sunday in Richmond.
Gilbert also earned two top 10 results at the recent World Tour races in Canada, finishing seventh at the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec on September 11 and ninth at the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montreal on September 13.
