Overview
Context for the 278.2 km Antwerp to Oudenaarde route and its late berg sequence.
Tour of Flanders 2026 runs 278. 2 km from Antwerp to Oudenaarde and keeps the same basic pressure points that define the monument, long flat roads that demand positioning before the bergs, repeated cobbled climbs that strip away support riders, and a late sequence that still turns Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg into the race's loudest questions.

A sourced watchlist from the current startlist, selected for cobbled climbs and monument-winning power.
Listed on the startlist and perfectly suited to making the bergs feel longer than they are.
