Abutriek Baptism of the Air - E3 Saxo Classic 2026
From bike to helicopter 🚁 We all know Greg Van Avermaet from the cobbles, the climbs and his victory in the E3 Saxo Classic. But this year he sees the race from a completely different perspective.
Not on the bike. In the cockpit!
In our latest video, Greg takes an introductory flight with Toran and discovers what it feels like to fly a helicopter himself above the E3 course. From the air you really get to see just how impressive this classic race is.
And the best part? During the E3 Saxo Classic, you can experience it for yourself too!
Climb aboard for a baptism of the air above Harelbeke and discover the E3 course like you've never seen it before. A unique experience for cycling fans, adrenaline seekers and anyone who dreams of flying.
Who knows, Greg might even be at the controls 😉 Powered by Abutriek Services
