Dwars door Vlaanderen starts in Roeselare and finishes in Waregem, only around 20km away on the other side of the motorway. However, in between they head into the heart of the Flemish Ardennes for a string of cobbles and climbs in the playground that hosts these much-loved Belgian Classics.
A flat start should see a breakaway form before the peloton hits the 'hill zone' after 65km, starting with the Volkegemberg, which is new to the menu this year. Following on are the Hotondberg, Knokteberg, and Kortekeer, which signals 100km on the clock. From there, the race can become dangerous, with a key move going on the Berg Ten Houte last year.
