Arnaud De Lie confirmed to make his Paris-Roubaix debut, Vermeersch and Frison outsiders for the cobbles

Arnaud De Lie was expected to race Paris-Roubaix as he looks to get experience for the future. He should be an outsider for the race but not a favourite, but a motivated Lotto Dstny has several cards to play in the Hell of the North.

De Lie himself was second at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad so he comes as a possibility, after recently finishing sixth at Dwars door Vlaanderen. Another will be Frederik Frison who is on the form of his life, and has been thriving in the recent classics, racing to fourth at both Classic Brugge-De Panne and Gent-Wevelgem. Florian Vermeersch will be the other, often suffering mechanicals lately, but on his best day 2021's runner-up can definitely race for a high result here - having just finished 12th at the Tour of Flanders.

The Belgian team comes in with a young block supporting their leaders, perhaps a modest one in comparison with other teams. It is completed by Cedric Beullens, Sébastien Grignard, Liam Slock and Brent van Moer.
