The 87th Gent-Wevelgem in Flanders Fields is the latest race Tadej Pogačar would like to add to his palmeres and, in the absence of both Wout Van Aert and Mathieu Van der Poel, this could be his perfect opportunity.
If Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates – XRG) starts a race then he wants to win it and ‘Gent–Wevelgem – In Flanders Fields’ is a gap that needs filling on his resumé. He will find this one harder than the Tour of Flanders, though, as the course isn’t as attritional and traditionally favors the sprinters.
These sprinters have to be able to master the Kemmelberg, though. This 450-meter cobbled climb just outside the small village of Kemmel, packed 10-deep with drunken fans, shapes and often decides the race each year. Of course, there is more to the race than just one climb – there are others such as the Rodeberg and the vicious Baneberg – but it’s the Kemmelberg that tends to do all the damage.
Aside from Pogačar, and if they can get over the wickedly steep cobbles, the other favorites will be the top sprinters Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step), Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) and 2022 winner Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty). If the pure sprinters can be dropped then keep an eye on two-time winner Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) and Omloop winner Søren Wærenskjold (Uno-X Mobility).
