Battle of sprinters
Three out of five stages of the Baloise Belgium Tour are completely flat and seem destined for mass arrivals, which is why the best sprinters in the international peloton have included this race in their calendars. The two remaining stages will decide the general classification and consist of an 11-kilometer time trial and a stage in the Belgian Ardennes that includes several climbs, one of them to the Mur d’Huy.
Favorites
Sam Bennet (1200), Pascal Ackermann (1200), Caleb Ewan (1200), Jasper Philipsen (1000), Cees Bol (600), Giacomo Nizzolo (800), Dylan Groenewegen (600), Nacer Bouhanni (400), Tim Merlier (400), Timothy Dupont (400) and Bryan Coquard (400) make up a n spectacular sprinters’ list. For the general classification Remco Evenepoel (1000) is the main favorite, since he is very superior to his rivals in time trial efforts. Also, Evenepoel is the reigning champion of the race as he won the 2019 edition.
