Teams
15 of the 18 UCI WorldTeams and eight UCI ProTeams made up the 23 teams that participated in the race.[3][4] All but two teams entered a full squad of seven riders; Team BikeExchange–Jayco and UAE Team Emirates each entered six riders.[5]
Before stage 3, Team BikeExchange–Jayco voluntarily withdrew from the race after two unspecified members of their squad tested positive for COVID-19.[6] Before stage 4, Team Jumbo–Visma and Team DSM followed suit after two and three unspecified members, respectively, of both teams tested positive. On the other hand, Movistar Team opted to continue racing after two riders, Juri Hollmann and Einer Rubio, tested positive after stage 1, though both riders were withdrawn.[7] As a result, only 117 of the 159 riders who started the race finished.[5]
