The Ronde van Vlaanderen, or Tour of Flanders, is one of five monuments of cycling, and in 2022, the women’s edition is getting even bigger.

22 teams are ready to race the 8th edition of La Course, before the return of a women’s Tour de France set to launch in 2022. La Course is set for Saturday, in conjunction with the opening stage of the men’s Tour de France start in Brittany, between Brest and Landerneau. The 107 kilometer hilly course will end at the top of the cote de la Fosse aux Loups.

Marianne Vos collected one of the few titles she had not won when she claimed the women's Amstel Gold Race on Sunday. 

The women will kick off an explosive day of racing and the start of the Ardennes classics at the Amstel Gold Race. 

Sunday marks the beginning of the beloved Ardennes Classics, with the return of the Amstel Gold race following the race's 2020 cancellation. 

The depth of the women's peloton has led to unpredictable and explosive racing during this year's spring classics. With the inaugural women's Paris-Roubaix postponed until October 2nd, all eyes turn to the Tour of Flanders this Sunday.
