Dwars door Vlaanderen
🚴 UCI
🌍 INT
The mid‑week bridge to the Ronde is shorter and more tactical than its big Sunday sibling.
Dwars strings together a sharp sequence of hellingen and cobbled lanes that reward riders who can read chaos and surf wheels into every narrow entry. Route tweaks in recent years have balanced risk with racing, keeping the finale fast yet selective.
It’s a perfect proving ground for domestiques turned leaders and for sprinters who handle a day of bumps. Late attacks over the final cobbles often stick if the chase hesitates; otherwise, a reduced bunch sprints in Waregem after a frantic final 10 km.
