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)
