In the absence of the three protagonists of the E3 Saxo Classic and Milan-San Remo – Wout van Aert, Tadej Pogacar and Mathieu van der Poel – Christophe Laporte, Jasper Philipsen, Tom Pidcock and Julian Alaphilippe are among the top favorites. The finish is expected around 4.45 pm. Then we will know who will succeed Van der Poel, who won the race in 2019 and 2022. Dylan van Baarle, who is also missing, won in 2021.
