Team Sky confirm line-up for Belgian weekend
Team Sky has named its final teams for Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, confirming that two-time winner and defending champion Ian Stannard will not ride this year.
Team Sky has opted for a different build-up for some of its Classics riders, with Stannard spending a long spell racing and training in Australia in January. He is expected to ride Paris-Nice before starting his Classics campaign at Milan-San Remo. In the absence of Stannard, world champion Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) will wear race number one.

The Team Sky line-up for both Belgian races is lead by Luke Rowe and includes Andy Fenn, Michal Golas, Christian Knees, Gianni Moscon, Salvatore Puccio, Alex Peters and sprinter Elia Viviani.
Viviani is perhaps more suited to Sunday’s Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne race but is part of Team Sky Classics squad for 2016 and will ride the Belgian race before heading to London for the UCI Track World Championships.
