- Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl roster for the 2022 Tour of Flanders:

Kasper Asgreen (DEN)
Tim Declercq (BEL)
Yves Lampaert (BEL)
Florian Sénéchal (FRA)
Jannik Steimle (GER)
Zdenek Stybar (CZE)
Bert Van Lerberghe (BEL)

- Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl sports director Tom Steels: "De Ronde is one of the best races in the world, but at the same time, one of the toughest. Looking over the course there aren’t that many changes, so we know what to expect. The difference is, of course, the team that is not on full strength, with all the sickness that has struck us. But despite this, we have the belief that on Sunday we will play a part in the race. Kasper showed he’s one of the best out there at the moment. We have Florian and Jannik, who also proved they are ready, even though Florian had a lot of bad luck in the past races. Tim, Yves, Zdenek and Bert know the parcours, they are experienced, so even with some condition they can handle the course and do something good. Of course, it goes without saying that we aren’t the big favourites for this race. We will have to ride smart to get a good result, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t confident."

Susanne Andersen (NOR)
Leah Kirchmann (CAN)
Franziska Koch (GER)
Juliette Labous (FRA)
Liane Lippert (GER)
Floortje Mackaij (NED)

- Albert Timmer, Team DSM coach: "Ronde van Vlaanderen is an incredibly hard day in the saddle, with its famous cobbled climbs and challenging sections. We want to race actively as a team throughout the day and anticipate the attacks so that we are together and have options as the race heads towards the finale. With Floortje, Liane and Juliette we have three riders who are capable over the climbs here and we'll work to get them into a good position for when the action starts. We then want to use our numbers and race aggressively in search of a good result."

- Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) won the men's 2020 Tour of Flanders.  Chantal van den Broek-Blaak (Boels-Dolmans) won the 2020 Tour of Flanders for Women.

- Delayed video here at 8:00pm US Eastern (English, U.S.A., FuboTV Cycling Channel) - Originally scheduled live, changed to delayed.

- CCC Team lineup for the 2020 Ronde van Vlaanderen:

Jonas Koch (GER)
Michael Schär (SUI)
Matteo Trentin (ITA)
Gijs Van Hoecke (BEL)
Nathan Van Hooydonck (BEL)
Guillaume Van Keirsbulck (BEL)
Francisco Ventoso (ESP)
Sports Directors: Valerio Piva (ITA), Steve Bauer (CAN)

- CCC Team directeur sportif Valerio Piva: "We know Matteo Trentin is in great form right now and will lead the team well on Sunday at Ronde van Vlaanderen, where we have our strongest riders possible to support him. Matteo raced aggressively last week at Gent-Wevelgem and showed good signs for Flanders. He has recovered well during the week and is ready and motivated. Ronde van Vlaanderen is one of the hardest races of the season and as always, there is a long list of contenders, which includes Trentin, so anything can happen. Of course, it is disappointing that Greg Van Avermaet will not be at the start line but just two weeks after his nasty crash at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, we knew it was going to be a long shot. He did everything possible to try and line up but ultimately, the risk is too great."

- Alberto Bettiol (EF Education First) won the men's 2019 Tour of Flanders.  Marta Bastianelli (Team Virtu Cycling) won the 2019 Tour of Flanders for Women.

- Team Sunweb roster for the 2020 Tour of Flanders:

Søren Kragh Andersen (DEN)
Nikias Arndt (GER)
Tiesj Benoot (BEL)
Cees Bol (NED)
Nils Eekhoff (NED)
Joris Nieuwenhuis (NED)
Casper Pedersen (DEN)

- Michiel Elijzen - Team Sunweb coach: "We bring a really strong team to Ronde van Vlaanderen and motivation within the group after Casper and Joris' strong first and third places at Paris-Tours at the weekend. We need to be attentive throughout the day and make sure that we're in any dangerous moves before the finish, getting riders ahead of the race in the pre-final. Tiesj and Søren have both shown recently that they have continued their good form out of the Tour de France and they will aim to be up there fighting at the end of the day. However, in the finale we also want to use our numbers to our advantage like we've done in recent races, so that we have multiple options to play and can race aggressively."

- Team Sunweb women for the 2020 Tour des Flandres:

Alison Jackson (CAN)
Leah Kirchmann (CAN)
Franziska Koch (GER)
Liane Lippert (GER)
Floortje Mackaij (NED)
Coryn Rivera (NED)

- Hans Timmermans - Team Sunweb coach: "The parcours is a bit different than previous years, without the Muur van Geraardsbergen, but the final from Kanarieberg stays the same and like always the weather will play an important part in deciding the day. We arrive at the race with a really strong group that can all challenge for a good result in the right situation. We have good memories of 2017 when we won Ronde van Vlaanderen with Coryn, so we know that if we can play our cards smartly that we can go for a top result again this year."

It’s going to be about positioning, finding the right moment for us to be in the right group and not waiting. That’s the point for the helpers on the day, to get the guys to around the 180km mark without them spending energy up to that point, and get them safely through.  From there it’s pretty much the tactics and the legs that will do the talking for the outcome. It’s time to show something too – we can’t talk about races still to come – the Vlaanderen classics are all but over with just two races after this and we better do something!  The spirit is good, the weather is good and crazy Belgium is ready for the Ronde and there are already thousands of riders on the road ahead of the sportive – bring on Sunday!"

- Bernie Eisel (Team Dimension Data): "We’re talking about the hardest races of the season and the illness at Algarve and have taken some time to recover. The problem with the Classics is that there is no place to hide and that’s the beauty of the sport.  At the Classics, when you’re at the top you’re at the top and when you’re not there, well then you’re nowhere. This is where we’ve been struggling at the moment but there are great signs of better form and that’s really good already. Our focus is definitely on Eddy with probably Michael and Reinie to have a bit of an outsider role. Eddy will be the captain but we can’t expect miracles of them because you can’t hide here and the best riders will be up there, especially as it’s Flanders."

- Greg Van Avermaet (CCC Team) ahead of the 2019 Ronde van Vlaanderen: "Every year, I line up at the Tour of Flanders saying the same thing. I’m strong, I’m confident in my form, and I’m motivated to win. Nothing has changed this year. I know I’m capable of winning the Tour of Flanders but it hasn’t happened yet in my career. I hope to change that on Sunday. The Classics are unpredictable so everything has to go your way. If everything goes my way then I’m confident that I can be back on the podium this year.  We saw at Gent-Wevelgem how chaotic it is when the race is aggressive from the beginning and this definitely suits me, especially in a race like the Tour of Flanders which is longer and harder anyway. Normally, the race is fairly controlled until we hit the last 100 kilometers or so and then it’s all about positioning, the legs, and a little bit of luck."

- CCC Team lineup for the 2019 Tour of Flanders:

Kamil Gradek (POL)
Michael Schär (SUI)
Greg Van Avermaet (BEL)
Gijs Van Hoecke (BEL)
Nathan Van Hooydonck (BEL)
Guillaume Van Keirsbulck (BEL)
Łukasz Wiśniowski (POL)
Sports Directors: Fabio Baldato (ITA), Valerio Piva (ITA)

- Fabio Baldato (CCC Team sports director): "Greg Van Avermaet may not have stood on the top step of the podium at the Classics so far this year, but he has proved race after race that he is one of the strongest and we have full confidence in him for the Tour of Flanders. In support of Greg, we have our three Belgians; Gijs Van Hoecke, Nathan Van Hooydonck, and Guillaume Van Keirsbulck, as well as Michael Schär, and the Polish duo of Kamil Gradek and Łukasz Wiśniowski. We are taking seven healthy riders to the start line, all of whom will do the maximum they can to support Greg until the finale.  Greg performs best when the race is super hard and given the length of the Tour of Flanders, it’s the perfect race for him. If everything goes to plan in the race then we expect Greg to be fighting for the win, so we hope this year may be his year."

- UAE Team Emirates roster for the 2019 Ronde van Vlaanderen:

Sven Erik Bystrøm (Nor)
Fernando Gaviria (Col)
Alexander Kristoff (Nor)
Vegard Stake Laengen (Nor)
Marco Marcato (Ita)
Jasper Philipsen (Bel)
Oliviero Troia (Ita)
Sports directors: Allan Peiper (Aus), Simone Pedrazzini (Sui)

- UAE Team Emirates General Manager Matxin: "We will be able to count on two riders with some excellent potential, Kristoff and Gaviria, supported by a high-level group with Bystrøm, Laengen, Marcato and Troia. Kristoff is a guarantee, he has already won this huge monument and knows how to manage himself the best possible. Gaviria has less experience, but has exceptional qualities. In addition, we will line up at Philipsen, a sure protagonist in this race over the next few years. This experience will help him mature and will be invaluable in the coming years. The Ronde van Vlaanderen is a very difficult race, but with these riders we have a winning potential."
