The Tour of Flanders is the big event of the weekend in cycling. Discover all the latest information.
The Tour of Flanders takes place this Sunday April 2, a week before the legendary classic Paris Roubaix. Often highly appreciated, the race is also very spectacular and this 2023 edition promises with a very high plateau. Mathieu van der Poel, winner of Milan San Remo and double winner of this Monument, is one of the favorites in this race, but in front of him, the Jumbo Visma armada is scary. Wout van Aert, Christophe Laporte, Tiesj Benoot… Three runners who can raise their arms at the finish line. If the Belgian will be the leader, we will closely follow the Frenchman Christophe Laporte, winner of Gand Wevelgem and A travers les Flandres a few days ago.
Tadej Pogacar will also be expected in the Flanders race, it is even one of his objectives for the year, he who has been chaining places of honor and victories since the start of the season. Among the French, beyond Christophe Laporte, Valentin Madouas and Julian Alaphilippe will also be scrutinized. The former world champion has been chomping at the bit for several weeks because of a serious lack of sensation in his legs. “We are trying to do things to counter them, but we are not succeeding at the moment. Afterwards, I do not think that they will be three on the podium of the Tour of Flanders, although I no longer dare to discard” explained his manager Patrick Lefevere.
Traditionally scheduled a week before Paris Roubaix, the Tour of Flanders 2023 will take place on Sunday April 2, 2023.
For this 2023 edition, the race will start from Bruges for the first time since 2016. The peloton will take the direction of the Flemish Ardennes passing through the Ronde villages of Beernem, Aalter, Izegem and Zulte for the famous finale composed of the duo Vieux Kwaremont-Paterberg.
