So, who’s involved?

Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal) and Elia Viviani (Deceuninck- Quick Step) head the men’s field. The Australian won three stages at the Tour de France earlier this summer, including on the Champs-Elysees, while Viviani will be hoping to improve on last year’s second-place finish.
Four former winners will take to the start line including Arnaud Demare (Groupama – FDJ), Jempy Drucker (BORA-Hansgrohe) and Alexander Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates).
The fourth of those ex-champions? None other than Eurosport cycling expert Adam Blythe (Lotto Soudal), who will also be fighting for victory having won the race in 2014.
Kirsten Wild (WNT-Rotor Pro Cycling) faces a difficult task to win a third title in the women’s race, with fellow Dutchwoman Marianne Vos (CCC Liv) among those hoping to stop her.
Vos, last year’s runner-up, arrives in supreme form having clinched La Course glory last month.
Coryn Rivera (Team Sunweb) and Barbara Guarischi (Team Virtu Cycling), champions from 2017 and 2015 respectively, are also present again.
