The E3 Saxo Bank Classic 2026 live streams will feature Mathieu van der Poel going for three in a row. The Dutch rider will start the 208.5km race once known as the E3 Harelbeke, and regarded as ‘The mini Tour of Flanders’, as an overwhelming favorite, too.
The one-day race follows much of the same route as the upcoming Tour of Flanders, but on a slightly truncated course. This will be 68th edition of the E3 Saxo Bank Classic and Mads Pedersen will be among the other riders seeking to cause the biggest of upsets and prevent Van der Poel from completing his hat-trick. Christophe Laporte will also have something to say about the podium placings.
