Seventeen of the nineteen UCI WorldTeams were joined by eight UCI ProTeams to make up the twenty-five teams that participated in the race. All but one team entered seven riders for a total of 174 riders, many of whom also contested the previous day's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad; Trek–Segafredo was the exception with six riders, as Charlie Quarterman sustained injuries from a crash during that race. 114 riders finished.[3]
