The Tour of Flanders is one of the key days of the cycling calendar. Mathieu Van der Poel emerges as the huge favorite.

Wout Van Aert fell violently during the A Travers la Flanders rehearsal. The Dutch team, accustomed to collecting bouquets throughout the year, was an essential part of the Flandriennes but everything collapsed. The race will take place on Sunday, April 7, with the finish in Ghent-Wevelgem. The winner will sit next to the record holders (the Belgians Achiel Buysse, Éric Leman, Johan Museeuw and Tom Boonen)
