PREVIEW | Scheldeprijs 2024 - Philipsen, Merlier, De Kleijn and Welsford lead all-star sprinter field

Scheldeprijs is one of the key races of the year for the sprinters. On the 3rd of April, the Belgian classic hosts many of the world's best sprinters in what is the final flat classic in the spring campaign that suits the fast men. We preview the race ahead.

The 205-kilometer long classic is pan-flat and often is affected by the wind. However despite that, and a small cobbled sector in the final four-lap circuit, the sprinters usually always take success in this race at the end of the day with the finale in Schoten.

*** Jasper Philipsen, Tim Merlier
** Arvid de Kleijn, Sam Welsford
* Kaden Groves, Gerben Thijssen, Luca Mozzato, Edward Theuns, Casper van Uden, Dylan Groenewegen, Juan Sebastián Molano, Soren Waerenskjold, Cees Bol, Dries van Gestel

Pick: Jasper Philipsen
