The start list for the 2019 edition of the Tour of Flanders has been revealed.
Belgium’s cobbled Monument takes place on Sunday, April 7 this season and we’ll be treated to a stellar line-up of talent.
Defending champion Nikki Terpstra will be representing Direct-Energie, with former champion Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) also taking to the start line.
On-form Deceuninck-Quick-Step bring with them a strong team, including Philippe Gilbert, Yves Lampaert, Bob Jungles and Zdeněk Stybar.
General Race Director Scott Sunderland commented on the line-up: “We see teams with one strong leader, for whom the entire team will be working. Niki Terpstra made a conscious choice for this with his move to Direct Energie. Within his team, which starts thanks to a wildcard, he is the absolute leader.
“This situation is new to him, compared with Deceuninck – Quick-Step, the team he was riding for until last year. With Lampaert, Gilbert, Jungels and Stybar in the team, they have at least four cards to play.”
“Almost every team has riders who can play a role in the finale,” he added.
In the women’s race, defending champion Anna van der Breggen will be absent, leaving space for a new winner to take the mantle. The battle will be on, with several former winners listed – including Coryn Rivera (Sunweb), Annemiek Van Vleuten (Mitchelton-Scott), Ellen Van Dijk and Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo), plus Marianne Vos (CCC Liv).
Vos is bolstered by Asleigh Moolman-Pasio, who was just one step off the podium last year.
Boels-Dolmans has a strong line up, too, however with this year’s Omloop Het Nieuwsblad winner Chantal Blaak as well as last year’s second placed Amy Peiters.
