Teams for Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne confirmed, EF Education-EasyPost the only WT team to skip the race

While Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne may be "just a 1.Pro race" in its status, the unique position in the season calendar this race occupies ensures that the K-B-K often enjoys some of the best startlists of whole year. Coming up just a day after the first WT classic of the year, the Omloop Nieuwsblad, all but one World Tour teams will make an appearance in the subsequent semi-classic.

Only EF Education-EasyPost opt to skip the race with a start in Kortrijk. The remaining 17 WT teams will be accompanied by eight selected PRT teams. Along the six ProConti teams at the start of Omloop Nieuwsblad, Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team and TotalEnergies will complete the startlist on Sunday, February 25.
