Le Samyn is a single-day road bicycle race held annually in February/March in Fayt-le-Franc, Belgium, starting in Frameries and finishing in Dour. Since 2005, the race is organized as a 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour. Established in 1968 as a professional race, it was originally held under the name of GP Fayt-le-Franc, becoming Memorial José Samyn in 1970 after the death of José Samyn in 1969.[1]
Since 2012, a women's edition of the race has been held under the name of Le Samyn des Dames.[2]
Snow had covered many of the roads in region, causing the cancellation of the 2005 edition.[3]
