It’s here! The 2023 Tour of Flanders and Tour of Flanders Women are coming up this weekend on Sunday, April 2, with the cream of the crop of the Classics peloton taking on the toughest cobbles and hills that Flanders has to offer at the second Monument of the season.
We’ve been waiting all spring for the peloton to tackle Belgian cycling’s hallowed ground and the famed cobbled climbs of the Paterberg, Koppenberg, and Oude Kwaremont. Now we’re edging ever closer to one of the biggest races on the calendar.
The biggest names in the men’s and women’s pelotons will reconvene in Brugge and Oudenaarde to kick off the festivities on Sunday morning, with reigning champions Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) heading the bill.
Van der Poel will face a brutal list of top riders as he faces off against Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-QuickStep), Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo), Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty), Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers), and Matej Mohorič (Bahrain Victorious) and more.
Meanwhile, Kopecky will run the gauntlet to battle against Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar), Grave Brown, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (FDJ-Suez), Elisa Longo Borghini, Elisa Balsamo (Trek-Segafredo), Ashleigh Moolman Pasio (AG Insurance-Soudal-QuickStep), among others, while Lorena Wiebes and Demi Vollering join her at SD Worx.
