Final Startlist GP Jean-Pierre Monsere 2026 | Riders: Tim Merlier, Fabio Jakobsen, Dylan Groenewegen, Pascal Ackermann, Gerben Thijssen
Cycling
The Grote Prijs Jean-Pierre Monsere 2026 takes place on Sunday 22 March in Belgium, offering one of the final opportunities for sprinters and classics specialists to fine-tune form ahead of the biggest cobbled races. Here is where you can find the final startlist for this year’s edition.
Recent winners
The race has built a reputation as a fast, often sprint-friendly contest, but not without surprises. Alexys Brunel won from a breakaway in 2025, while previous editions have gone the way of sprinters such as Jarne Van de Paar (2024), Gerben Thijssen (2023), Arnaud De Lie (2022), Tim Merlier (2021) and Fabio Jakobsen (2020).
Standout names
A stacked sprint field headlines the 2026 edition. Tim Merlier leads the line for Soudal - Quick-Step and is joined by fellow proven fast men Fabio Jakobsen and Dylan Groenewegen, ensuring a high-level battle if it comes down to a bunch finish.
There is depth beyond the headline trio. Pascal Ackermann and Luka Mezgec give Team Jayco AlUla multiple options, while Gerben Thijssen, a former winner here, returns with Alpecin - Premier Tech as a serious contender.
Elsewhere, riders such as Milan Menten, Matteo Moschetti and Jenthe Biermans add further sprint depth, while defending champion Alexys Brunel offers a reminder that this race does not always follow a predictable script.
