Jumbo-Visma have been completely dominating the cobbled classics and they will seek to win the fifth out of five major classics at Dwars door Vlaanderen. Christophe Laporte, fresh off a Gent-Wevelgem win, will be the team leader as Dylan van Baarle was sidelined as he struggles following an injury at Tirreno-Adriatico.
The Frenchman is in great form and will be one of the main favourites for the race. Alongside him will be Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne winner Tiesj Benoot and Olav Kooij who rode very strong at Gent-Wevelgem to finish eighth - and will be an outsider in this race.

Several riders get the opportunity to prove themselves further however as the lineup is completed by Edoardo Affini, Timo Roosen, Tosh van der Sande and Tim van Dijke.
