Under the UCI's new WorldTour rules, the events that have been added to the calendar this season are not mandatory for WorldTour teams. Three of the sport's top teams have used this exception to opt out of the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, according to CyclingPro.net.
Dimension Data, Movistar and UAE Abu Dhabi have opted to skip the Belgian classic, leaving 15 WorldTour teams at the start. The door is open for 10 wild card teams to be selected.
Dwars door Vlaanderen, another new WorldTour race, will go ahead without Team Sky and Dimension Data. Last year the race had only 12 WorldTour teams. Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, still a UCI 1.HC event, is expected to attract 14 WorldTour teams.
