Binche-Chimay-Binche

The last month of the Movistar Team’s women’s season starts with the fourth edition of an event also known as Memorial Frank Vandenbroucke, a race on Walloon soil -just like the Blues’ last victory to date at the Tour de la Semois– which will precede a pair of exciting Italian autumn classics (Emilia + Tre Valli).

Regarding the route of ‘BCB’, the last three laps around the finish in Binche contain a gentle climb, 2.5km at 3%, and more importantly the Rue de la Pepinière -400m at 5%, over cobblestones-, to be completed less than 1km from the end, the finish also covered with cobbles. Before the circuit, the riders will tackle some tougher slopes -one of those is called ‘Petit Poggio’-, yet always shorter than one kilometer.
