Sagan has a strong track record in the Flemish cobblestone classic, having finished second in 2013 and 2016, and winning the race in 2014. He started the season on a positive note at Vuelta a San but has slipped behind in terms of result.
As the reserve rider, Turgis has been picked due to his decent showing in the Milano-Sanremo event where he finished 9th. The team's squad for the race also features Dries Van Gestel, Daniel Oss, Thomas Bonnet, Sandy Dujardin, and Geoffrey Soupe.
