Preparation for the Tour of Flanders continues this Sunday March 24 with the Ghent-Wevelgem classic where Mathieu van der Poel emerges as the huge favorite.
One week from the start of tour of Flanders, the riders continue to prepare for this great Tour. On the program this Sunday is the 253.1 kilometers from Ypres to Vanackerestraat in Wevelgem, Belgium. Although the course is rather flat, this Flandrian classic very rarely ends in a sprint due to often wet weather conditions. This 86th edition should be no exception to the rule with showers expected between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and variable weather in the afternoon. The race will start at 10:40 a.m. and should end around 4:20 p.m. according to forecasts. The main difficulties should arrive in the last quarter of the race with the famous Mont Kemmel.
But who will succeed the Frenchman Christophe Laporte, winner of the last edition? The question arises but an answer seems to emerge. Indeed, the Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel is the big favorite in the absence of the local Wout van Aert. He will nevertheless have to be wary of Jasper Philipsen, recent winner of Mila-San Remo, Biniam Girmay, crowned in Wevelgem two years ago, Mads Pedersen and even Michael Matthews.
