Should be an interesting race. MvdP isn't on the start list, but Van Aert and Pederson are. I'm thinking maybe van Aert is hungry, assuming that he's healed from his crash the other day. Both Jumbo and Lidl-Trek are bringing very strong supporting riders, and so Philipsen only has a chance, I think, if it comes down to a bunch sprint. But I'll guess that the strong teams will do everything to make sure that at the end, only a select group is near the front.
