Jumbo-Visma are having their main classics block race together at Tirreno-Adriatico where Wout van Aert will make his season debut. However a last-minute change sees Primoz Roglic surprisingly back to competition.
After sustaining injuries at the Vuelta a Espana last summer and then undergoing a shoulder operation, the Slovenian stayed three months off the bike and only began his training for 2023 in December. His only scheduled race was the Volta a Catalunya where he is to meet Remco Evenepoel, but he has decided to kick off his competitive stint earlier.

Roglic will be a GC contender then, having in the past shown great form even without racing. He will have Wilco Kelderman and Attila Valter who realistically will also be riders capable of fighting for the overall classifification, as is Koen Bouwman on paper.
The race also sees a massive focus on preparing for the classics, with Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne winners Dylan van Baarle and Tiesj Benoot at the start line, and with Wout van Aert finally beginning his season after opting out of Strade Bianche.
Jumbo-Visma for Tirreno-Adriatico: Wout van Aert, Primoz Roglic, Wilco Kelderman, Koen Bouwman, Tiesj Benoot, Attila Valter and Dylan van Baarle.
