Yes, but most of that team they've fielded will be aiming for Flanders/Roubaix and most will be peaking in a month's time for them rather than now, as it generally is one or the other. Stannard is missing Omloop this year for that reason.
I still think they'll have at least three riders in the final selection but I'm not sure if any of those three will have enough to finish it off.

Theuns and Stuyven from Trek are both young and could surprise.
This is just too early for Sagan, he's only had a weeks holiday in San Luis so far this season.
Ettix are as always super strong but this might be a bit early for them, that said, if big Tony wants a leadership role in Flanders and Roubaix he's gonna need to do something special, I wouldn't put it past him to just time trial away from a group of 20.
Other than that I can't see past Kristoff, super strong team around him who have all been together in Dubai and Oman showing great form
