In the eyes of Belgian cycling fans the Tour of Flanders or Ronde van Vlaanderen as it’s know locally is BIGGER THAN CHRISTMAS. They will be lining the roads in the tens of thousands to catch site of their heroes doing battle on the famous cobbled climbs and the impending contest between Mathieu van der Poel, and World Champion Tadej Pogačar has them salivating in anticipation.
The wait is over—it’s time for the one and only Ronde van Vlaanderen, the day Flanders comes to a standstill to witness another legend etched into cycling history. The second of cycling’s five Monuments, set on the iconic Hellingen, is the climax of what’s known as Flemish Holy Week.
This year, all eyes are on Mathieu van der Poel and World Champion Tadej Pogačar — whenever they clash, it’s like a lit match in a box of fireworks. Lurking behind are contenders like triple Gent-Wevelgem winner Mads Pedersen, time trial powerhouse Filippo Ganna, and Belgian favorite Wout van Aert, hungry for redemption.
The 268km route features 16 cobbled climbs and 7 flat cobbled sections, including the Eikenberg, Koppenberg, Molenberg, and the brutal Oude Kwaremont, tackled three times. The final test comes on the steep Paterberg — just 13km from the finish —where the strongest will emerge.
