Antwerp > Oudenaarde 271km

The big one, for me, the best race of the year. After losing out to Pogačar last year, Van der Poel is back and he’s the huge favourite to take the win, which would be his third Flanders title. The problem is, all eyes are on him, being the overwhelming favourite isn’t easy, especially for his teammates. Everyone expects Van der Poel to win, the rest of the peloton can ride without pressure, which makes them very dangerous. This isn’t going to be an easy day for Alpecin, can they deliver when the pressure is on?
