Participants Tour of Flanders 2025 | Picnic PostNL and UAE Emirates-XRG first to announce their teams
Cycling
It's almost time for the Tour of Flanders. On Sunday, between Bruges and Oudenaarde, we will know after 260 kilometers of racing who will win the cycling monument among the men and, one hour later, who will win among the women. But who will participate? IDLProCycling.com lists the teams.
Undoubtedly, the Tour of Flanders is the main goal for many teams and riders. For example, Tadej Pogacar and Mathieu van der Poel will face each other for the first time in Flanders. Their duel in Milan-Sanremo already resulted in a wonderful result. Can they continue the story in Flanders? Pogacar was already there early with his strong UAE-Emirates XRG team, including Tim Wellens and Jhonatan Narváez.
Visma | Lease a Bike (with Wout van Aert, Tiesj Benoot, and Matteo Jorgenson) and Lidl-Trek (Mads Pedersen, Toms Skujins, and Jasper Stuyven) are considered the other big groups of contenders. At the same time, it would be quite an achievement just to make it to the podium for the rest of the starting field like Luca Mozzato did last year on behalf of Arkéa - B&B Hotels, for example. Although we don't expect many surprises on this extremely tough course.
Confirmed selections (and corresponding ambitions) Tour of Flanders 2025
- Picnic PostNL (Nils Eekhoff and John Degenkolb)
- UAE Emirates-XRG (Tadej Pogacar and Tim Wellens)

We can also expect a top-class women's peloton. Except for Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez), pretty much all the big names will be present, including Marianne Vos, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma | Lease a Bike), Lotte Kopecky, Anna van der Breggen, Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) and so on. On Sunday, we will find out which of these women will win this edition of the Tour of Flanders.

- Such negative comments that are truly inappropriate and actually ridiculous. He sounds like an old man, bitter that he can't race anymore. Why can't he just be gracious? Or just shut up. Instead of howling for attention, in such a rude manner. Must be Dementia creeping in. We are all living in the Now. Records are there, and some are being broken, some are unapproachable. If he doesn't like it, and it makes him sick, maybe he ought start watching some other sport. Don't want the old mans health to be upset.

- I am not sure if it is the hardest to win. In Flanders and Roubaix well before the finish the Peleton will be decimated and the race will normally be won by the best rider of the day or maybe 2nd or 3rd in case of a mechanical or unlucky break especially in case of Roubaix. In San Remo just before the finish there will still be several riders in contention and they are hard to ditch. For the best riders it is a race hard to win since it is not so selective. But if you are not a top 5 rider but still a top 10 rider this race is your best change to win. You will see more Milan San remo Winners with only 1 monument win than any other monumentsJoostmehrtens19-03-2025
- "fap fap fap oh Lance oh oh OHHHHHHH" again. Does he pay you to dredge up people with nice things to say about him? He was an giant a$$hole to people. It is a fact. Whatever his contrition about the doping, he is unapologetic about being a giant a$$hole to people. (Why yes, I do only login to complain. *I* am however only a giant a$$hole to people who laud giant a$$holes.)ericjensenridesbikes25-02-2025
- Remco is still very young. And injuries can absolutely keep you from overdoing it and getting worse. The recent Remco accident didn't keep him from being able to ride a recumbent inside. Wout's knee is a different story thoughVeganpotter23-01-2025
- Van der Poel style is winning by a half a lap and leading the race from the end of the second lap.
