With the cobbled classics season underway after the opening weekend, Le Samyn presents itself as one of the main non World-Tour classics and one that always provides for an exciting race.
From Quaregnon to Dour, this semi-classics takes the riders over 209 kilometers of tricky Belgian roads on the 1st of March, which is usually decided in the final circuit which includes four cobbled sectors and a slight uphill finish, won by Tim Merlier last year.
The preliminary startlist includes the likes of Tim Merlier, Oliver Naesen, Max Walscheid, Fabio Jakobsen, Taco van der Hoorn, Itamar Einhorn, David Dekker, Victor Campaenaerts, Matteo Moschetti, Matteo Trentin, Hugo Hofstetter, Timothy Dupont, Dries van Gestel, Rasmus Tiller and Tobias Johannessen.
