Of the 20 UCI ProTour teams, only AST 2007 chose not to take part.http://www.team-astana.eu/e/actualite.php?id=644 Astana Cycling Team suspends its activities for one month 2007-07-31 team-astana.eu dead https://web.archive.org/web/20070928043839/http://www.team-astana.eu/e/actualite.php?id=644 2007-09-28 The teams Chocolade Jacques–Topsport Vlaanderen and Skil–Shimano were each given a wild card. Several cities that have been start or finish locations already the previous years appear again in the schedule, e.g. Hasselt, Beek, Landgraaf, Sittard and Geleen were already part of the 2006 route. A major difference in the schedule is that the long time trial will now take place on the last day of the competition.

For 21 teams this would create a starting field of 168 riders. Just like previous years however, some teams chose to start with only 7 riders, namely FDJ 2007, LAM 2007, C.A 2007 and ALM 2007. As a result, only 164 riders were on the official starting list.
