240 km from the North Sea to Wevelgem near the French border (Tourcoing). And the usual detour into the bergs after mid-course.

The men race arrives before the women race (which is 100 km shorter, starting from the finish city, going to the bergs and back).

As the race belongs to the Flanders Classics company, we cannot get information without registering an account. So:

Quite a thriller til the last moment.

Quite the nail biter, and I am of course delighted that Tobias Lund did so well now that Mads Pedersen didn't race. Also nice to see Philipsen win after a weak start to the season.

Does this seize the award for most longwinded and confusing name? Some presenters were even that the Tour of Flanders was on today / later.

It's a dumb name, alright. It's Gent-Wevelgem, and the sooner they return to that name the better.

Anyone understand UAE ADQ tactics? 🤷
