Tour of Flanders Women 2024 route
Changes to course add two more cobbled roads and one fewer climb
Organisers have overhauled the route for the Tour of Flanders Women 2024 and have changed the men's route to include the features used in the past women's editions, using wider roads to speed along the opening 100km and alter the approach to the Koppenberg to match the women's route for safety reasons.
The women's route is very different from last year's in the first sections, swapping the northern loop toward Deinze and down through Waregem for a northeastern circuit overlapping the men's course in Beerlegem, taking on the first cobbled sectors on the Lange Munte, Lippenhovestraat and Paddestraat.
As in 2023, the women then heads back toward Oudenaarde and take on a circuit that includes the first bergs - the Wolvenberg, Molenberg, Marlboroughstraat, Berendries, Valkenberg and the Kapelleberg before heading toward the key closing circuit.
That loop starts off with the steep and narrow Koppenberg, which is sure to shatter the race with 44.6km to go. From there, the climbs come thick and fast with five climbs in 30km, with the Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg providing the same thrilling finale as the men's race.
