Cycling is back! For real. Many races come before it these days, but Omloop is the traditional season opener, and the first look at how the single-day races will play out this year.
The bookmakers’ favorite, Mathieu van der Poel, has pulled out due to sickness, but last year’s winner, Zdenek Stybar, and runner-up Greg van Avermaet will be on the start line looking for another strong performance.
