The start list of the 2019 Dwars door Vlaanderen, which starts in Roeselare in Belgium later today, does not include heavy hitters like Greg van Avermaet, Peter Sagan, Wout van Aert and Zdenek Stybar.
With bad weather in the air and Sunday’s all-important Tour of Flanders on the horizon, several notable riders have decided the best preparation is to rest.

Defending champion Yves Lampaert will be at the start and wear number one for Deceuninck Quick-Step, which also includes the likes of Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne winner Bob Jungels and former world champion Philippe Gilbert.
Alexander Kristoff, who won Sunday’s Gent-Wevelgem, will lead UAE Team Emirates with Oliver Naesen, who was third, representing AG2R La Mondiale.
Even though Van Aert decided to skip today’s classic, current cyclo-cross world champion Mathieu van der Poel will be on the start for Corendon-Circus after placing fourth in Gent-Wevelgem on his debut.
A total of 25 teams will line up for the 182.8km race, which finishes in Waregem.
