In Flanders Fields and Dwars door Vlaanderen are done, the recons are complete, the line-ups are decided – the women's Tour of Flanders and the start of Holy Week is very nearly here.
Flanders is always a clash of the titans, with its historic and challenging course always attracting the sport's best riders, but this year the starting field is almost unimaginably good. Almost every single top rider will be in attendance – Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney being perhaps the one main exception – and everyone seems primed for a big battle.
