Our E3 Saxo Classic Spectator Tour is designed to give a small group an up-close experience of one of the great Flemish Spring Classics. We take care of the transport, road closures, timing and race-day logistics so you can concentrate on enjoying the racing.
Race Experience
We’ll begin with the pre-race atmosphere in Harelbeke before getting ahead of the peloton and following the race through the Flemish Ardennes. Throughout the day, we’ll aim to see the race at multiple carefully selected locations, experiencing the cobbles, bergs and passionate Belgian crowds that make E3 such a great race to watch.
Hassle-Free Logistics
Following a Spring Classic independently can be challenging, with road closures, narrow roads and large crowds changing how you move around the course. We manage the driving, timing and viewing locations, giving you the opportunity to experience different parts of the race without worrying about how to get there.
Local Knowledge
After many years of taking guests to the Spring Classics, we understand how race day works in Flanders. Knowing when to move, which roads remain accessible and where to position the group helps us make the most of the day and gives you the best opportunity to see the race several times.

Our team manages the transport, timing and race logistics so you can simply enjoy the crowds, the cobbles and the racing as the E3 Saxo Classic unfolds across Flanders.
The E3 Saxo Classic is one of those races that captures everything we love about cycling in Flanders. Narrow roads, cobbled sectors, short, steep bergs and passionate Belgian crowds combine to create racing that rarely settles down for long.
What we particularly enjoy about E3 is the opportunity to follow the race throughout the day. Starting with the atmosphere in Harelbeke, we’ll then get ahead of the peloton and move between carefully selected locations across the Flemish Ardennes. You’ll often hear the race approaching before you see it, then within seconds the riders are past and we’re preparing for the next stop.
E3 also gives you a brilliant taste of the roads and atmosphere that make the Spring Classics so special. With a small group of just seven guests, we have the flexibility to move through Flanders and get close to the action.
For cycling fans, spending a day chasing one of Belgium’s great Classics through Flanders is pretty hard to beat.
