Road

In the Shadows of WWI battlefields. Coastal crosswinds in the first 100km can shatter the peloton; the Kemmelberg is the real selector. If a sprinter survives the climbs, Wevelgem often ends in a bunch sprint — but the wind makes it unpredictable.

  • Double ascent of Kemmelberg (km 118 + km 145)
  • Exposed crosswind sectors near coast
  • Fast sprinter-friendly finale if no break
  • Kemmelberg (500m, 12% max)
