Mathieu Van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) is the huge favorite this Sunday. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) skipped this edition to concentrate on the Giro.

Wout Van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) was injured after a fall during Across Flanders. 17 mountains and 7 paved sectors are part of the route. Of the 270.8 km of the event, the first 135 are rather calm before the ascent of Old Kwaremont.
