Men’s raceThis is Mathieu van der Poel‘s playground and there’s little reason to expect anyone else to take the win. I do believe it’s a track that suits Thibau Nys well, but as we have seen today, the Alpecin rider may well just do what they please with the race, with Tibor del Grosso and Niels Vandeputte both racing at their top level.

Joris Nieuwenhuis, Lars van der Haar, Mees Hendrikx, Ryan Kamp, Pim Ronhaar, Toon Aerts, Jente Michels, Toon Vandebosch, Gerben Kuypers, Martin Groslambert, Felipe Orts, Kevin Kuhn, Andrew Strohmeyer and Cameron Mason will also be present.

Women’s race

Ultimately there is going to be an open race in Hoogerheide, without the climbs where Lucinda Brand would usually make the difference. However, the veteran’s decision to race a full schedule may be starting to be felt as she was nowhere near the front in Maasmechelen. Hence, we can expect there to be a battle for the win again, and not a dominating race.

Puck Pieterse and Amandine Fouquenet were the strongest today and we can expect these two to be up there once again, taking into consideration the circuit isn’t overly different. Inge van der Heijden, Aniek van Alphen, Manon Bakker, Leonie Bentveld, Shirin van Anrooij, Célia Gery, Marion Norbert Riberolle, Sara Casasola, Blanka Kata Vas, Zoe Bäckstedt and Marie Schreiber will also be present.
