Ten of the 18 UCI WorldTeams and nine UCI ProTeams made up the 19 teams that took part in the race. All but one team entered a full squad of seven riders; Trek–Segafredo only entered five riders. In total, 130 riders started the race, as Mikkel Bjerg of UAE Team Emirates did not start the first stage.[2]
On stage 2, Olav Kooij, who was second in the points classification, wore the orange jersey, because first-placed Biniam Girmay wore the yellow jersey as the leader of the general classification. For the same reason, Samuele Battistella, who was third in the young rider classification behind Girmay and Kooij, wore the white jersey.
