The ultimate Tour experience

with these five tips

The Tour of Flanders is not just any old race. Flanders' Most Beautiful race, this year on Sunday 6 April, is a true celebration of the people! And where better to experience this than in the finishing town of Oudenaarde? With these five tips, you will get the most out of your Tour weekend.

1. Cycle over the mythical cobblestones yourself

On Saturday 5 April you can experience the Tour for yourself during We Ride Flanders. You can still register. Choose a distance between 80 and 229 km and test your legs on the legendary slopes. Not cycling? Then supporting in the centre is just as much fun!

2. Don't miss the start of the women's race

The Tour of Flanders for elite women starts on Sunday at 1.10 p.m. on the market square in Oudenaarde. Make sure you get there early for the team presentation at 11.40 a.m. and experience the race from the very first moment.

3. Find the best spot along the route

Would you like to see the riders in full action at the moment of truth? Then head for the iconic passages at places like the Koppenberg or Wolvenberg.
Tip: check out the timetable in advance and decide where you want to cheer on the riders.

4. Enjoy the atmosphere in the public village

The public village in the finish area opens at 1 p.m.. Big screen, good food, atmosphere and ambiance: experience the finale in style here!

5. Stick around for the podium ceremony

The winners of the Ronde will be honoured at 6 p.m. in the public village. An unique moment to see the champions up close and to continue the party with other fans.
