Today, (Monday), it looks like another Merlier versus Philipsen sprint duel, but lots of teams to still confirm line ups.

Edit - add - Girmay and De Lie added and UAE here too so maybe not so much a duel.

From the Roadbook -
Art. 22 Sprint (au Km 49) :
Un prix en nature (en produits de Chimay) sera offert au vainqueur
du sprint disputé au Km 49. Le lauréat est dans l’obligation de termi-
ner l’épreuve pour recevoir le prix.
Googling translation -
Art. 22 Sprint (at Km 49): A prize in kind (in Chimay products) will be offered to the winner of the sprint at Km 49. The winner is obliged to complete to receive the prize.

There's a nice photo of beer and cheese from Chimay in the roadbook so I'm guessing the prize is something along those lines. Cheers!

and with the weather prediction of some strong winds so could it be interesting.
