Dwars door Vlaanderen 2023
The 2023 Dwars door Vlaanderen is a one-day semi-classic race which will be held on 29 March 2023 in Belgium. It will be the 77th edition of Dwars door Vlaanderen and the 12th event of the 2023 UCI World Tour.
The race, which is often held in late March, is a part of the Flemish Cycling Week, which also includes the Tour of Flanders, E3 Harelbeke, and Gent-Wevelgem. The Tour of Flanders begins a week and a half before Dwars door Vlaanderen, which traditionally takes place four days after Milan-San Remo. Since 2018, the race has been conducted one week earlier on the international calendar, on the Wednesday before the Tour of Flanders, the most important cycling event in Flanders, which is held on the following Sunday.

The Route
The Dwars door Vlaanderen cobbled race is one of the spring classics in Flanders. The event covers a distance of about 180 kilometers from Roeselare to Waregem in total. The steep Flemish Ardennes serve as the backdrop for the majority of the race.
The race becomes more demanding with a dozen rises in the hill zone in East Flanders following the initial 80 km in West Flanders, which are primarily flat. Despite yearly variations, the Taaienberg, Kruisberg, and Côte de Trieu are a few of the race's frequent climbs. At 11 kilometers from the finish line, the Nokereberg climb's summit is reached. There are also a few flat cobbled sections. The race is comparable in nature to the Tour of Flanders due to its mountainous Flemish Ardennes terrain, and is often utilized as a warm-up for the bigger event four days later.
