Profile & Route Le Samyn 2025

On the 4th of March we've got another Belgian classic, one of the most popular outside of the World Tour competitions actually. Le Samyn has gathered a lot of reputation over the years, with good reason, as the sprinters and classics specialists battle out in an explosive circuit. We take a look at it's profile.

The 198-kilometer race has a mostly flat first half and a final circuit where the race will be decided. There will be four 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. It's a race where tactics are very important and a lot of aggressive racing is expected, but often it comes down to a reduced group sprint.
