The second Monument of the 2026 season arrives this Sunday at the Tour of Flanders, with the stars of the sport aligning for an all-out battle over 278km from Antwerp to Oudenaarde, where the iconic bergs of the Flemish Ardennes come into focus.
Brutal cobbles and typical dreary Belgian spring weather are certain, and the racing will surely match it when it comes to difficulty. With all of the vital warm-up races completed at E3, In Flanders Fields and Dwars door Vlaanderen, the build-up of anticipation for the 110th edition of the Ronde van Vlaanderen is nearing its crescendo.
