Gent-Wevelgem is often referred to as a sprinters classic. But the reality is that it takes a versatile rider to win this prestigious race over the hills of the Heuvelland and windy plains of the Westhoek. Gent-Wevelgem pays a tribute to the brave who fought for their country during WWI.
The main favorites for the 2023 edition were: Wout Van Aert, Mads Pedersen, Jasper Philipsen, Christophe Laporte and Arnaud De Lie.
