Tim Wellens and
Matteo Trentin will likely be his main support riders, however most likely with the task of attacking or covering early attacks, before the inevitable moves by the main favourites happen. In addition to the 2 classicists mentioned, riders such as
Sjoerd Bax,
Mikkel Bjerg,
Vegard Stake Laengen and
Rui Oliveira will also support the Slovenian.
