From the heat of the Arab Emirates to the cold stones of Belgium, the northern countryside begins with the Omloop Het Nieuwslblad and with Fantacycling you can experience both experiences at the same time.

You have the last day to enter the formations both in the championship and in the leagues and by entering our app, you will find the countdown that will indicate the time limit to make the latest changes.   There will be no shortage of runners to choose from, to set up your northern countryside right from the very first race.  

Among the favourites, above all, is Jasper Philipsen , with Alpecin Deceuninck who should bet everything on the Belgian sprinter. Speaking of home riders, pay attention to Arnaud De Lie , the young talent of Lotto Dstny , who has already taken four victories in this part of 2023.  

If you want to focus on experience you can choose the Swiss Stefan Kung , a guarantee on the stones, as well as Alexander Kristoff and the pairing of Jumbo Visma , Cristophe Laporte and Tiesj Benoot .  

Among the favorites also Matej Mohoric , winner of the last Milan-San Remo , who usually immediately finds himself competitive at the beginning of the season, as well as Tom Pidcock , who also appeared brilliant in these first months of 2023.  

Eyes also on the "Wolfpack", with the men of Soudal Quick Step ready to assert the compactness of their team: Lampaert , Sénéchal , Ballerini , Asgreen , are riders you can easily rely on. The unknown factor here is who will be the designated captain.  

The UAE Team Emirates can count on Matteo Trentin and a Tim Wellens who immediately appeared in great condition with the new jersey, while Movistar will rely on the usual Garcia Cortina . In the Bora Hansgrohe Jordi Meeus , Ide Schelling and Nils Politt can have their say, while in the Cofidis house the man to bet on could be Axel Zingle .  

Great curiosity also to see the Under 23 world champion Yevgeniy Fedorov , who in the absence of other big names in Astana , could have a lot of space.
