Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ) is one of the top Classics riders hoping to disrupt the dominance of Visma-Lease a Bike as he kicks off his cobbled campaign at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad this Saturday.

The Swiss rider leads French side Groupama-FDJ in his seventh appearance at Opening Weekend and is hoping for a top five with the bigger cobbled goals arriving later in spring.
