2026 In Flanders Fields - from Middelkerke to Wevelgem event preview

Recently renamed ‘In Flanders Fields - from Middelkerke to Wevelgem’, what is effectively the 88th edition of Gent-Wevelgem is the second race of the Flemish Holy Week coming just two days after the opener, the E3 Saxo Bank Classic.

Its name change is reference to the area of Flanders the route crosses and a nod to the thousands of soldiers who lost their lives in the First World War trenches. The name may have changed but the race is still dominated by the vicious cobbled climb of the Kemmelberg, which the riders must tackle three times, the final ascent coming 35 kilometers from the finish.

There is still no guarantee last year’s winner Mads Pedersen will be on the start line as he recovers from a broken wrist, and even if he has recovered (he lined up in the Milan-Sanremo), will he be in top form? Top form or not he’ll still have a job on his hands to beat Mathieu van der Poel, though, who heads a stellar start list which also includes Wout van Aert, Jonathan Milan, Paul Magnier and the British sensation Matthew Brennan, if he recovers from a recent illness.

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France. Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads. This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs, followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes, RIDE BRITAIN. Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running his 100 Climbs brand and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.
