All the big guns are here, Philipsen, Milan, Kooij, Merlier, Girmay, all lined up in the same race to resume the contest of who exactly is the fastest sprinter in the world right now.
It’s a rare treat to have all the best sprinters present in the same race outside maybe the Tour de France so this year’s Classic Brugge-De Panne should have a sensational finish so long as the sprint teams can keep the race together that is.
Lining up to do battle on the exposed roads of northern Belgium will be Biniam Girmay (Intermarché – Wanty), Arnaud De Lie (Lotto), Olav Kooij (Team Visma – Lease a Bike), two time winner Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin – Deceuninck), 2022 winner Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step) and holding the title of favourite, the giant Italian Jonathan Milan (Lidl – Trek).
The race starts Bruges, then the 195km route crosses the wind battered swamp plains of De Moeren, before heading for Veurne and De Panne for three loops of the 42.9km finishing circuit.
