Annemiek van Vleuten is back into racing for the Movistar Team just before the start of a month of April key to her ambitions in this 2021 season. The European road race champion has anticipated her return to racing at ‘De Ronde’ with Dwars door Vlaanderen, where she will get back on the cobblestones before the big race on Sunday 4th.
The 122km route of this UCI 1.1 event, outside the WorldTour, sees the riders take on a total of 10 climbs. The most important ones start in the last 60 kilometers, with consecutive ascents of the Kortekeer, Steenbeekdries and most notably the Taaienberg (65km), steep and narrow.
The Berg Ten Houte (70km), over 1.1km with cobbles; the ascents of Kruisberg (80km) and Knokteberg (87km); the ‘pavé’ of Varent (95km) and the short Nokereberg (112km) make the selection of favourite to contest victory in the last race before the Tour of Flanders.
