Along with teammate Mathieu van der Poel, the 2023 winner, Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious), the champion from 2022, and 2021 winner Jasper Stuyven (Lidl-Trek), other former winners in this year's edition include Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor) and John Degenkolb (Picnic-PostNl).

All eyes will be on Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates XRG) who finished third last year and is aiming to add another Monument to his palmares.
