Men's 2018 winner Greg Van Avermaet is back, now racing with CCC Team. The race represents the first outing for Team Ineos under their new name, with Chris Froome taking to the start line.
One to perhaps watch in the sprints is Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data), as he looks to prove his form after a slow start to the year following illness.

Harry Tanfield (Team Katusha-Alpecin) returns to the race having wowed crowds by taking a stage win whilst riding for Canyon-Eisburg last year, a success that perhaps played a part in his move up to the World Tour team.
Canyon is back too, now as Canyon dhb p/b Bloor Homes, with the likes of Rory Townsend and Jacob Hennessy signing on.
The women's race will be an important one for Lizzie Deignan (Boels-Dolmans). Deignan has set September's Yorkshire World Championships as a clear goal, and could use this as a recce. It remains to be seen if she'll be able to shine so early in her season, having returned to racing following the birth of her first child only weeks ago.
Canyon-SRAM will field Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, the former multiple world champion who was cleared to resume training just last month following surgery, as well as both Barnes sisters.
CCC-Liv boasts Marianne Vos, who can never be discounted - the Dutch woman has been showing signs of regaining her former strength with a win at Trofeo Alfredo Binda and third at Amstel Gold Race. She'll have support from Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio, though the South African has been struggling with form following an early season crash.
Mitchelton-Scott brings Annemiek van Vleuten, who finally achieved the win she was seeking at Liège-Bastogne-Liège only days ago.
UK teams include Drops, Storey Racing, Brother UK Tifosi and the Great Britain national team, fielding a whos-who of UK talent, including Dani Christmas (GB), returning from her base in Belgium, everlasting talent Nicola Juniper (GB), Sarah Storey (Storey Racing), both Barker sisters Elinor and Megan (Drops) and Anna Henderson (Brother) to name a few.
