Ten UCI WorldTeams, nine UCI ProTeans, and six UCI Continental teams made up the twenty-five teams that participated in the race. Every team entered seven riders each, except for Arkéa–Samsic and Giotti Victoria–Savini Due, which each entered six riders.[3][4] However, the remainder of the Giotti Victoria–Savini Due team withdrew after an unnamed rider tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the race.[5] With Gianni Moscon of Ineos Grenadiers also being a non-starter after sustaining injuries from a crash in Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne three days prior, there were 166 riders who started the race, of which only 82 finished.[6]
