Timetable

Arguably the biggest change for the women’s Ardennes classics in 2024 is the end of the unrespectful schedule, starting in the earliest morning, used until 2023. Following the Flanders Classics formula, the races end after the men’s courses, with the neutralized start here being given at 1.55pm, finish around 6pm.

Analysis

It’s a series of comebacks in the spring for the Movistar Team, the first of which will see Claire Steels returning to racing almost ten weeks after her double vertebra fracture into separate crashes at the UAE Tour. The Englishwoman enters a Flèche Wallonne quite different from previous years’, over a faster course that will also be held on an evening schedule, after the men’s event.

The tough Côte de Cherave won’t be tackled this year, with the final loop now comprising two ascents of the Côte d’Ereffe (2.1km at 5%), a slope after its summit and the downhill towards Huy to tackle the two climbs of the legendary Mur. 1.3km at 9.6%, with a maximum around 20%, suited only to the best climbers in the peloton.
