The second Monument of the 2026 season takes place on Sunday 5th April with the men’s and women’s Tour of Flanders.
Taking place in Belgium, the cobbled Classic pits the riders against a 164km parcours for the women’s race and 278km for the men’s race, taking in the most famous bergs of the Flemish Ardennes.
In 2025 the women’s race was won by Lotte Kopecky, and the men’s was won by Tadej Pogačar, who romped to victory after dislodging Mathieu van der Poel on the Oude Kwaremont. Both will be back to defend their titles this year, with Van der Poel, Mads Pedersen and Wout van Aert spearheading the challenge to the world champion, with Demi Vollering hoping to take a first Flanders title ahead of an ambitious Ardennes tilt.
We’ve got full analysis of the race, teams and starters, a history of its most epic editions and our own experience of riding the (slightly shorter) full course a few years ago in our accompanying detailed Tour of Flanders guide.
