Tour des Flandres

The Tour des Flandres, a prestigious cycling 'Monument' and the second of the season, is generating significant buzz. The 2026 edition, taking place on April 5th, is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first time Tadej Pogacar, Mathieu van der Poel, and Remco Evenepoel will compete together in this classic race. Evenepoel's participation is a late addition to his schedule. Mathieu van der Poel recently won the E3 Saxo Classic, a Flemish race considered a rehearsal for the Tour des Flandres, solidifying his position as a strong contender. Pogacar and Van der Poel have dominated the event in recent years, winning the last four editions between them. The race, held between Anvers and Audenarde, is highly anticipated due to the presence of these top cyclists and the competitive dynamic they bring.
