On an unseasonably warm day in Belgium, the Tour of Flanders served up some fantastic racing. Both the men's and women's races were competitive right to the death, though ultimately both were won by the favourites. 

The women's race starts and finishes in Oudenaarde, so after getting all the tech from the men's race, we hopped in the car and hightailed it down the motorway to make sure we could bring you an equally bumper crop of tech from the pits of the women's race.

Will joined the Cyclingnews team as a reviews writer in 2022, having previously written for Cyclist, BikeRadar and Advntr. He’s tried his hand at most cycling disciplines, from the standard mix of road, gravel, and mountain bike, to the more unusual like bike polo and tracklocross. He’s made his own bike frames, covered tech news from the biggest races on the planet, and published countless premium galleries thanks to his excellent photographic eye. Also, given he doesn’t ever ride indoors he’s become a real expert on foul-weather riding gear. His collection of bikes is a real smorgasbord, with everything from vintage-style steel tourers through to superlight flat bar hill climb machines.
