Course
On Wednesday 1 April, the men will start from Stationsplein in Roeselare for the 80th edition of Dwars door Vlaanderen. At 11:55, they will set off on a journey of around 185 km towards Waregem. The first climb the riders will tackle is a newcomer this year: the Hellestraat. Once again, the race can be decided in the Flemish Ardennes, where they will twice conquer Berg Ten Houte, Côte de Trieu, Hotond, and the cobbles of Mariaborrestraat. Also new this edition is the Onderbossenaarstraat, located 77 km from the finish, a flank of the Taaienberg with a long run-out. Via Eikenberg, Doorn, and Huisepontweg, the route then heads towards the double loop featuring Nokereberg and Herlegemstraat. After 12 climbs and 7 cobblestone sections, we will know the successor to Neilson Powless on the Verbindingsweg in Waregem.
Start: Stationsplein in Roeselare – 11:55
Finish: Verbindingsweg in Waregem – around 16:05
Distance: 184,6 km
