Gent-Wevelgem Girls LIVE – Podium Cafe

Ieper – Wevelgem 159 km

The women’s G-W is stepping up in difficulty (as we will see RvV do next week as well). They’ve added a passage through De Moeren and they will now also tackle the steep side of the Kemmelberg on the final passage. The first may not matter much today with little wind but the Kemmelberg change should really make things harder for the purer sprinters to make it to Wevelgem in the front group.

Expected finish: 17:55 – 18:25 CEST

Wevel Gem of the Day: Lotte Kopecky

This could be a day she and SD Worx genuinely have an edge over Balsamo and Wiebes. Even if betting against those two seems hard these days.
