Just two wildcards remain with 20 of the 22 teams announced by ASO overnight, including all 18 WorldTour teams.
The Brussels grand départ is ideal for Belgian team, Wanty-Groupe Gobert.
"(Brussels) will be a highlight of our season and in the history of the team," Wanty-Groupe Gobert general manager, Jean-François Bourlart said. "The start of the third stage in Binche, home of our title partner Wanty, promises to be a big party for the cycling world."
"This third consecutive selection for the Tour de France is very satisfying. (it's) a strong signal for the work we have been doing for a number of years. We progress year after year. We won the UCI Europe Tour for the third consecutive year, so I was hoping for a new participation in the Tour and I am delighted to see that the organisers rewarded our efforts."
Cofidis general manager Cédric Vasseur was excited despite his team's annual selection largely a given.
"Proud, honoured and so eager to make the colours shine," he tweeted. "Thanks Le Tour for the confidence and bravo to the whole team for the work accomplished."
