E3 is where the Flemish Cycling week kicks off and the serious business begins. There are no more warm-ups no more training races, over the next nine days legends are made and dreams are shattered.
Covering 208 kilometres the cobbled climbs or ‘Hellingen’ kick in around the halfway mark with the ascent of the Oude Kruisberg and from then they come tick and fast like bullets from a machine gun. The Knokteberg, Kortekeer, Taaienberg, Boigneberg, Eikenberg, and Stationberg are all squeezed into a 40-kilometre stretch which will rip the race to shreds.
Then the riders have to take on the Mariaborrestraat before tackling the Kapelberg, and just 4 kilometres later the double whammy of the Paterberg and Oude Kwaremont before the long flat run to the finish.
There is a stellar line up this year with Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert the headline names, however Tadej Pogačar has taken his name off the start list to concentrate his efforts on the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix. Other riders to look out for are Paris Nice winner Matteo Jorgenson (Team Visma | Lease a Bike), Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates – XRG), Stefan Küng (Groupama – FDJ), and of course the super strong Mads Pedersen (Lidl – Trek).
