Description:
Part of the UCI World Tour, the race is chalk full of cobbles, narrow roads, bad weather, and wind. While other races might get more press, for the riders the Tour of Flanders is widely considered to be the most impressive victory to have on a resume as the race requires its champions to be true all-arounders, such as past-winner Fabian Cancellera. The new final features the Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg, both will be climbed three times. Also included in the final are the infamous Koppenberg (climbed after the first passage of the Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg), the Steenbeekdries and the Kluisberg.
