Mathieu van der Poel is racing the Baloise Belgium Tour as he takes a more explosive and less mountainous approach to the Tour de France. After returning to racing at the recent Dwars door het Hageland, he uses this as an important step ahead of the Tour.
He'll be joined by classics specialists Gianni Vermeersch and Dries de Bondt who are also expected at the Tour, whilst the team will also be having it's leadout in practice. Jasper Philipsen will be hunting stage wins and alongside him will be Ramon Sinkeldam and Jonas Rickaert who'll have a crucial role over the coming month. Edward Planckaert completes the lineup.
