After a spectacular Milan-Sanremo, we can look forward to another fantastic race on Friday. The E3 Saxo Classic is the first significant event before the Tour of Flanders, and this year's race in Harelbeke will again feature a strong field of participants.

Two-time winner of the E3 Saxo Classic, Wout van Aert, is returning in the Belgian spring classic after a training camp in Tenerife. In the battle for victory, he will be assisted by Tiesj Benoot and Matteo Jorgenson, among others, who won Paris-Nice for the second year in a row earlier this month. These three names seem to be the big stand-outs on the provisional start list of Team Visma | Lease a Bike.
But there are even more big names on the provisional start list. Alpecin-Deceuninck will start with Milan-Sanremo winner Mathieu van der Poel as their leader. Last year, he rode solo to victory in the E3 Saxo Classic. Tadej Pogacar will not participate, as he added Paris-Roubaix to his program next week.
