Alpecin-Deceuninck have also confirmed their team for the
Grand Prix de Denain, which takes place a day later, as Riesebeek, Kielich and Boven remain in the lineup for that race as well, with Simon Dehairs, Stan Van Tricht, Fabio Van den Bossche and Sam Gaze all coming into the team.
Kielich also performed well at the French semi-Classic last season, in what was a strong period of form for the Belgian rider, as he finished third behind Juan Sebastián Molano and Tim van Dijke.
