Deinze - Nokere 195.6 km

A revamped Nokere Koerse with more cobbles nowadays. Still likely to be a reduced group sprint of some kind but if last years race was any indicator it's going to be a great Wednesday race. Also a pretty stacked start list spiced with a notable season debut for Mathieu van der Poel and the Belgian debut for Remco Evenepoel.

There is also an even more happy debut to celebrate as the first edition of the women's Nokere Koerse is held. No live video this year but quite a good startlist. Perhaps best of all the course retains all the qualities of the men's course in the shorter format and should therefore be even more selective.

Wednesday Winners: Jasper Philipsen & Amy Pieters

Fast in a sprint and with a fair bit of toughness looks like a great recipe.
