Wout van Aert is only here making his debut in the cobbles this season. He's opted out of the Opening Weekend where the team thrived, instead building his form at Tirreno-Adriatico. His third place at Milano-Sanremo suggests his form is reaching it's peak, and with Flandres and Roubaix in mind he will be looking to deal a psychological blow
The Dutch team is bringing in it's prime weapons. Christophe Laporte rode alongside van Aert to victory in this race last year and his form on the Opening Weekend suggests that he will be at a similar level this spring. The team includes Dylan van Baarle too, Paris-Roubaix winner, who has won Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and gives the Dutch team a big sense of depth.
That comes mostly as even the fourth and fifth options are reliable contenders for a victory depending on the situation. Tiesj Benoot and Nathan van Hooydonck finished first and second at Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne and can deliver the same kind of spectacle here. The lineup is completed by Tosh van der Sande and Edoardo Affini.

UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
