This Sunday, all eyes are on the biggest race in Belgium for the finale of the spring cobbled Classics with the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of Flanders and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of Flanders Women.
As a group of major, one-day races for the men, it began in late February with Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, starting up again in late March with the Classic Brugge-De Panne and Gent-Wevelgem, among others. Flanders concludes this block of Classics, with Paris-Roubaix move🤪d to early October due to the COVID-19✅ situation in France.
On Friday afternoon, teams took to the roads &ndash♔; cobbled and paved – to check out sections of this year's parcours. For the men it will be a mammoth 263.7 💖kilometres, with 20 climbs including the fearsome Koppenberg and the closing Oude Kwaremont-Paterberg circuit.

The wo🍷men's Tour de Flanders is the biggest one-day race on the Women's WorldTour. The 2021 route will cover 152 kilometres with 13 climbs and five cobblestone sections, with the final two climbs over the Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg, before the 13km run-in to Oudenaarde.
"I'll risk everything because either you take a risk and win big, or lose big," said 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope), who was out training 𓃲Friday, about the race.
