“We traditionally have a strong field of participants and this year is no different,” says race director Peter Debaveye. Of course, the participating teams have not filled in all the names, but if you can end up with seventeen WorldTeams, that is certainly not bad. By the way, we are at our maximum as 1. Pro race. The rest of the teams are all ProTeams: Flanders-Baloise, Bingoal-WB, Lotto-Dstny, TotalEnergies, UNO-X, Tudor, Israel-Premier Tech and Q36.5.”
“In addition, Wout van Aert has said that he will complete the entire opening weekend in his own country. We can therefore expect him to start in Kortrijk. So there is a good chance that the winner will again come from the Visma camp.”
