Last year, Belgian Lotte Kopecky shone for the second time in a row. She will attempt the hat-trick on home soil.
This year, Marlen Reusser, Lorena Wiebes and Demi Vollering - her teammates from SD-Worx-Protime - are also aiming for the coronation after the 163 km.
At Visma-Lease a Bike, Dutchwoman Marianne Vos can also claim first place.
The women's race of the Tour of Flanders will be followed this Sunday from 4:45 p.m. on Eurosport 1.
