On Sunday, Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne arrives with 12 climbs across 194.9 kilometres from Kortrijk to Kuurne. Belgian sprinter Philipsen won last year and this time will face off against Arnaud De Lie (Lotto-Intermarché), Biniam Girmay (NSN Cycling), Christophe Laporte (Visma-Lease a Bike) and other top sprinters.
But it's not all about the sprinters, with the race often going the way of the attackers if the right rider or group can blow the race apart.

How to watch Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne from anywhere
If you're outside your usual country when Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne is on, you might think you can’t watch the race due to geo-restrictions, but you’d be wrong.
A VPN is a nifty piece of internet security software that can alter your device’s IP address to make it seem like it’s in any country in the world. Provided it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock your usual streaming services and enjoy your coverage as if you were back home.
There are loads of great VPN options out there, but for a VPN that’s brilliant at streaming and is also TechRadar's pick for overall best VPN in the world, we’d recommend NordVPN.
