This year's Renewi Tour live stream boasts a peloton packed with great sprinters. In fact, there is hardly a single big name missing apart from the great Mark Cavendish. Lining up to likely contest three of the five stages will be Jonathan Milan, Arnaud de Lie, Tim Merlier, Fabio Jakobsen, Olav Kooij, Dylan Groenewegen, Jasper Philipsen and winner of the green jersey at this year’s Tour de France, Biniam Girmay. It's an array worthy of any Grand Tour and will make sure the crowds flock to watch the Renewi Tour 2024 action that awaits them.
It’s not just the big name sprinters that the race has attracted either with the likes of Geraint Thomas, Matej Mohoric, Ben Healy, TT specialist Filippo Ganna and likely favorite for the over all classification, World Champion Mathieu Van de Poel.
Finally Jasper Philipsen got his sprint just right to take stage four of a crash marred finish into Aalter. With half the field taken out with a kilometre to go the Belgian finally took the win he craved before the race hits the dreaded Muur van Geraardsbergen today.
Favourite to win the final stage would have been world champion Van de Poel but he's been forced to withdraw due to knee pain so will current race leader Alec Segaert be able to hold onto his slim lead and win overall?

Renewi Tour 2024 stages in detail
Run over five stages right across the Flanders region of Belgium, the Renewi Tour 2024 kicks off with a hilly circuit race on the outskirts of Maastricht. Day two follows with a 15.4km pan-flat time trial around the town of Tessenderlo.
Stage three starts on the coast at Blankenberge then heads inland to finish in Andooie with hardly any elevation gain whatsoever along the way. Then stage four from Oostburg to Aalter boasts an almost identical profile to the previous day to set up another Sprint-Royal.
The final stage from Menen to Geraardsbergen is when the hills arrive and they come with a vengeance. Crossing a total of 19 vicious 'Hellingen', including three ascents of the dreaded Muur van Geraardsbergen at the end, will ensure the outcome of the overall goes right down to the wire.
