With the spring Classics season in full swing, Wednesday's Dwars door Vlaanderen is the final Flemish race before Sunday's cobbled Monument at the Tour of Flanders.
The men's and women's races provide one last chance for riders to hone their form and test themselves ahead of the big one at the weekend, while also being important races in their own right.
Some of the biggest cobbled Classics favourites are absent from the start list, but plenty of top riders will still be lining up to take on the last challenge before Flanders.
