PREVIEW | Le Samyn 2023

Preview. It is on the 28th of February that the peloton in Belgium take on one of the most prestigious semi-classics. Le Samyn has over the year had a lot of exciting action, and this year is no exception with the explosive and cobblestone-filled final circuit.

There will be three complete laps of a circuit which has it's finale in Dour, which features four cobbled sectors and two small ascents. The uphill drag to the line will be equally as challenging.
