Defined by its cobbled climbs, the 2022 Tour of Flanders is once again set to deliver on a reputation as one of the biggest events on the cycling calendar.
Antwerp will be the start point as the men take on a gruelling 273km route, while the Women’s race will take in a 158.5km route.
A total of 17 brutal climbs mark the looping route around Oudenaard, featuring five cobbled sections, with the Paterburg climb marking the final punishing ascent the day before a flat last 13km to the finish.
