The 2024 version of the Gent-Wevelgem Ladies‘s WorldTour race makes use of the identical course as in earlier years, beginning beneath the Menin Gate in remembrance of troopers killed on the Flanders Fields throughout World Struggle I.Â
The race is barely longer with an additional 3.1km of official roll-out from Ypres. The primary climb comes after 106.8km on a big loop that features 4 ascents: the Scherpenberg, Baneberg, Monteberg and the primary journey over the Kemmelberg from the marginally simpler Belvedére aspect come between kilometre 98 and 111.
One other lap of the circuit sends the ladies’s peloton once more over the Scherpenberg and Baneberg, with the ultimate steeper ascent of the Kemmelberg from Ossuaire with 34.3km to go.
An unclassified climb halfway between the Kemmelberg and the end is one other alternative for the puncheurs to interrupt away and steal the victory from the sprinters.
