Male Team 24 Mar
Gent-Wevelgem
171.2 Kilometers
There will be live images on Eurosport through its app at 4pm CET; the conventional TV channel will start its broadcast after the men’s race.
Thirty kilometers in three years. One of the classics which the Movistar Team has covered every single year, seven in total, since its inception, Gent-Wevelgem has gone from crossing the 140km barrier in 2020 to reaching a very reasonable 171km in 2024, ten more than a year prior. And even if the ‘Plugstreets’, gravel roads, covered by the men are still not featured here, it’s a challenging, open race for either classics specialists or sprinters.
Seven climbs are on the programme, with a dual ascent of the infamous Kemmelberg -through its two sides- as the most decisive, as well as the final uphill with 35km to go. From there, an always exciting, almost one-hour-long pursuit follows through to the line.
