Named in honor of the 1984 World Champion, the Grand Prix Criquielion usually favors the sprinters, but the presence of a 2.2km climb inside 20 kilometers to go could very well give some ideas to the attackers.
Soudal Quick-Step will be at the start of the 205km event with Gil Gelders, Tim Merlier - victorious in three stages at the Tour de Hongrie last week - Martin Svrcek, neo-pro Jonathan Vervenne, and Devo riders Cériel Desal, Joeri Schaper, and Stan Van Tricht.
