The women's race takes the hill at Geraardsbergen
The Tour of Flanders for Women (Dutch: Ronde van Vlaanderen voor Vrouwen) is the women's edition of the Tour of Flanders, a road bicycle racing event in Flanders, Belgium.
The women’s Tour of Flanders has been held every spring since 2004 on the same day as the men's race and was part of the UCI Women's Road World Cup until 2015. In 2016 the race became part of the new UCI Women's World Tour.
The race runs over a course that follows the last 55 km of the men's race to finish in Meerbeke. In 2008, the race featured three long flat cobbled sections: Paddestraat (2400m), Mater-Kerkgate (3000m) and Haaghoek (2000m), and 10 hills including the Molenberg, Eikenmolen, Muur-Kapelmuur and Bosberg.[1]
