All nineteen UCI WorldTeams and six UCI ProTeams participated to the race. Of the twenty-five teams, only Trek–Segafredo did not compete with the maximum allowed seven riders. A few riders were found to have been in close contact with staff members who tested positive for COVID-19, the same positive test results that had forced them to withdraw from Gent–Wevelgem three days prior, so they had to be in isolation for a week. The short notice prevented the team from making last-minute substitutions, so they decided to field only five riders.[2][3]123 of the 171 riders to start the race finished.[4]
