Gent-Wevelgem Women: Lorena Wiebes sprints to repeat victory / As it happened
Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) won Gent-Wevelgem, taking the 100th victory of her career. Launching her sprint with 200 metres to go from the wheel of her teammate, world champion Lotte Kopecky, Wiebes was untouchable, with Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) and Charlotte Kool (Picnic-PostNL) not even trying to come around her and settling for second and third.
Gent-Wevelgem Women route
The race is unpredictable, with wind playing as much of a role as the attrition on the steep cobbled climbs. The race begins again in Ypres close to the imposing Menin Gate, and out of respect for those who lost their lives in Flanders Fields, the peloton will launch onto the 169.1km course with a wave of flag, not with a shot from a start gun.
This year’s route comes in 2.1km shorter than last year, and the women will face Kemmelberg twice.
The climbs on the course include the Scherpenberg, Baneberg, Monteberg and the Kemmelberg (Belvedère) and then another round of the Scherpenberg and Baneberg to the Kemmelberg (Ossuaire). Once the final ascent of the steeper side of the Kemmelberg is complete there is a 35.9km final run-in to Vanackerestraat, Wevelgem.
