There are 25 teams scheduled to line up, each with seven riders, making for a peloton of 175. The start list features all UCI WorldTour teams alongside six ProTeams: Tudor Pro Cycling, Unibet Rose Rockets, TotalEnergies, Pinarello Q36.5, Tudor Pro Cycling, and Cofidis.
Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step) and Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin - Premier Tech) will be among the big favourites for the race. While Merlier is building towards the Tour de France in July. Philipsen was a late addition to the start list after opting not to ride Tour de Suisse in preparation for the Tour de France. They will face strong competition from defending champion Jordi Meeus (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), as well as Søren Wærenskjold (Uno-X Mobility), Ethan Vernon (NSN), and Matteo Malucelli (XDS Astana).
