The race is back in the country. After the riders have prepared in the south, the Flemish cycling spring will get underway next weekend, with the Omloop het Nieuwsblad – Saturday – and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne – Sunday. On Thursday, many teams explored the Omloop route. One of the top favorites is Wout van Aert. Last year he passed for the Flemish opener. There is no shortage of competition, including Arnaud De Lie, Jasper Philipsen, Tom Pidcock, Matteo Trentin, Dylan Teuns, Tim Wellens, or foreign drivers such as Alberto Bettiol, Matej Mohoric, Jonathan Milan, Biniam Girmay, Matteo Trentin, Stefan Küng.
