Janse van Rensburg, Venter and Eisel will ride in support of Hagen, who finished fourth last year.
“I’m looking forward to this “mini-Flanders”, and we hope to chase a good result here, after a hard weekend for the team,” said Janse van Rensburg, who raced in the Gent-Wevelgem, but did not finish, last weekend.
“Being on much the same roads, it’s the last preparation going into the Ronde on Sunday, but it doesn’t mean it’s any easier and also a race that everyone would like to win.
“The weather prediction is not great, which always makes it even harder.”
The 74th edition of the one-day race will cover 182.8km with riders crossing the finish line in Waregem, Belgium.
