Lotto Famenne Ardenne Classic usually sits in the sweet spot between a pure flat sprint and a fully selective Ardennes race. That makes it ideal for fast men who can survive a slightly harder final hour.

Arnaud De Lie and Jasper Philipsen have the most obvious winning speed if the race stays together, while Paul Magnier and Milan Fretin can profit from a more chaotic run-in. Biniam Girmay remains dangerous if the finish is hard enough to strip away some of the pure lead-out trains.
