Good morning and welcome to live coverage of the E3 Harelbeke one-day race, where the big classics riders will look to put down a marker ahead of next weekend's Tour of Flanders.

For those not in the know, E3 Harelbeke is a 211km semi-classic race in Belgium that features numerous cobbled sectors and 15 bergs, or climbs. Most of the famous bergs will come into play in next Sunday's Ronde van Vlaanderen so it's usually a good indicator of who could feature highly in the second Monument of the season. Last year, for instance, Tom Boonen won E3 ahead of his glorious Flanders-Roubaix double.
