Course

The women will start their Dwars door Vlaanderen at 14:10 from the HippoLoggia site in Waregem, where a full-fledged fan zone will once again be set up. A 129 km course awaits them, featuring 6 cobbled sectors and 8 climbs, with the Hellestraat as the only newcomer. For the women’s peloton, Berg Ten Houte, Côte de Trieu, Hotond, and Mariaborrestraat appear once on the programme. The finale, with two ascents of Nokereberg and twice the cobbles of Herlegemstraat, is identical to that of the men. The race concludes once again on the Verbindingsweg in Waregem, where we will finally be introduced to the successor to Elisa Longo Borghini.
