Dwars Door Vlaanderen – Across Flanders 2026: Route, Entrants, Favorites

The final warm-up race before the Tour of Flanders, “Through Flanders 2026” takes place on April 1 and promises to be an open and strategic WorldTour semi-classic, contested over 184 km of rolling, cobbled terrain between Roeselare and Waregem. Less demanding than the “Ronde,” it lends itself to unpredictable outcomes despite its typical Flemish terrain (13 climbs and cobbled sections). Facing stiff competition (Philipsen, Pedersen, Ganna…), Wout Van Aert emerges as the clear favorite seeking redemption in a high-caliber edition bringing together puncheurs, sprinters, and classics specialists. Check out the route, TV broadcast schedules, and the list of entrants for this 80th edition of Dwars Door Vlaanderen—Across Flanders.
