Start List: 2020 Omloop Het Nieuwsblad
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.
