Tour of Flanders 2026

Tour of Flanders information

The 110th edition of Tour of Flanders, or known as Ronde van Vlaanderen in Dutch, takes place on Sunday April 5, the traditional calendar spot of the first Sunday of the month.

This cobbled one-day Spring Classic is the second of the five Monuments of the season, following Milan-San Remo.

The Ronde, as the Tour of Flanders in known in Belgium, began 1919 and typically covers 270km or more across Flanders with more than a dozen categorised climbs and a handful of cobbled sectors.

in 2024 Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) attacked 45km from the finish and earned a solo victory. The victory gave Van der Poel his third Ronde title, which put in a select group of six other riders who have won the Monument three times each - Achiel Buysse (1940, 1941, 1943), Fiorenzo Magni (1949, 1950, 1951), Eric Leman (1970, 1072, 1973), Johan Museeuw (1993, 1995, 1998), Tom Boonen (2005, 2006, 2012) and Fabian Cancellara (2010, 2013, 2014).

In 2025 Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates- XRG) soloed to his second Tour of Flanders victory, using the Oude Kwaremont to whittle down the lead group and then drop all his rivals the third time up the cobbled climb.

Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) outsprinted Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) to take second, while Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease A Bike) finished fourth just ahead Jasper Stuyven (Lidl-Trek).
