Cycling News will bring you reports, interviews, results, and news from the Classics, starting with Saturday's race, and how to watch Le Samin via live stream from any location using ExpressVPN (opens in new tab). Read.

Despite Le Samin's second place in the cobbled classics, big names such as Magnus Beckstedt, Robbie McEwen, and Philippe Gilbert have won it every year.

This year's start list includes two-time winner Niki Terpstra (Total Direct Energy), 2015 winner Chris Beckmans (B&B Hotels - Vital Concepts), and champion Florian Senechal (Deceuninck - Quick Step).

Omloop Het Nieuwsblad winner Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo) is another potential winner, as is Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne runner-up Giacomo Nizzolo (NTT Pro Cycling) will race with teammate Edvald Boasson Hagen.

Others starting in Walloon include Tim DeClercq and Alvaro Hodeg (both Dečuninck-Quick Step), Brian Coquard (B&B Hotels-Vital Concepts), and Belgian champion Tim Merlier (Alpecin Phoenix), Edward Theuns (Trek-Segafredo), Adrien Petit (Total Direct Énergie), Hugo Hofstetter and Tom Van Asbroeck (both Israel Start-Up Nation), and 2019 runner-up Aimé De Gendt and Timothy Dupont (both Circus-Wanty Gobert).

The 202-km route between the Walloon towns of Quaregnon and Dour concludes with three laps of the 27-km finishing circuit, with 20 cobbled sections, eight sectional climbs, and an uphill finish. The weather is cloudy and drizzly.

Le Samyn des Dames will also be held on Saturday, with Chantal van den Broek-Blaak and Christine Majerus (Boels Dolmans), Emma Norsgaard (Bigla-Katusha), Ellen van Dijk (Trek-Segafredo) and others will compete.
