Besides Gilbert, Florian Vermeersch, second last year, Victor Campenaerts, Cedric Beullens, Sébastien Grignard, Brent Van Moer and the German Roger Kluge will defend the colors of Lotto Soudal.
Gilbert, 39, will line up for the fifth and last time on the famous cobblestones, where he won in 2019. “My endurance has always been my strength, perhaps even more in this last part of my career than before,” he said on his team’s Twitter account. “After reflection with the team, we have concluded that I can be more useful in a long and difficult race like Paris-Roubaix than in a more explosive race like Flèche Wallonne. I can’t wait to run one last time on the cobblestones.”
