On Sunday 29 March, the 15th women’s edition of Gent–Wevelgem is set to take place, albeit under its new name, In Flanders Fields. The route typically amounts to 160 kilometres and takes in a seven short and sharp Flemish hills, such as the Baneberg and Kemmelberg. The finale is played out on the flat, though.
