Final startlist Bredene Koksijde Classic with Merlier

The Bredene Koksijde Classic is another one of the semi-classics that comes right before the main block of World Tour cobbled classics. It could best be described as a preparation race for Gent-Wevelgem as it features ascents of the Kemmelberg but it's widely a race for the sprinters, with the possibility of wind creating havoc in the race too.
