Dwars door Vlaanderen 2026
Edition 80 of Dwars door Vlaanderen - or, in English, Across Flanders - will be held on Wednesday, 1 April. In recent years, the riders have set off from Roeselare to finish in Waregem. The route features many famous Flemish hills, so the race is a perfect preparation for the Tour of Flanders, which is held four days later.
Neilson Powless won last year's Dwars door Vlaanderen, with Wout van Aert and Tiesj Benoot completing the podium.
