Favorites
Arnaud De Lie
De Lie has the raw power to survive the cobbles and still finish better than most of this field.
Jordi Meeus
Meeus is one of the best pure finishers among the riders who can handle a rough northern French race.
Nils Politt
If Denain becomes a true cobbled war, Politt gets stronger with every hard sector.
Tibor Del Grosso
Del Grosso brings exactly the kind of technical handling and explosiveness this race can reward.
Axel Zingle
Zingle is dangerous if the late selections leave a fast reduced group instead of a pure solo move.
Sebastian Molano
Molano is less protected on the cobbles, but if the strongest sprinters survive he belongs in the finale.
