PREVIEW | Heistse Pijl 2024 - Alexander Kristoff and Jordi Meeus headline cobbled classic with expected bunch sprint

On the 1st of June we have got another Belgian one-day race. On this day, the classics riders and sprinters will have their eyes on the Heistse Pijl. We preview the race ahead.

The 195-kilometer race is one that is mostly flat, but the one climb that the riders will face is placed in a location where it can make the difference. It is not a difficult ascent, but the riders ride six laps of a final circuit into Heist-op-den-Berg which features the Heistseberg, 500 cobbled meters at 3.6% which summit only 700 meters away from the finish.

*** Alexander Kristoff, Jordi Meeus
** Gerben Thijssen, Jarne van de Paar, Maurice Ballerstedt
* Simon Dehairs, Pavel Bittner, Casper van Uden, Sasha Weemaes, Iuri Leitão, Francisco Galván, Toon Aerts, Joseph Blackmore, Timothy Dupont

Pick: Alexander Kristoff
