The 110th edition of the Tour of Flanders takes place on Sunday. Short, sharp and often cobbled climbs are emblematic of the grueling nature of the race. The riders leave from Antwerp, while the route takes in 278.2 kilometres. As always, the cobbled combo of the Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg serves as the finale.
Title holder and two-time winner Tadej Pogacar returns to Flanders to defend his crown, while three-time winner Mathieu van der Poel aims to regain it. Wout van Aert, Remco Evenepoel and Mads Pedersen are also there to set the race alight. Cyclingstage.com brings you the start list for 'De Ronde'.
