The first women's Great Sprint Classic on March 26 brings Lorena Wiebes, Lotte Kopecky, Elisa Balsamo, Charlotte Kool, and Marianne Vos to Belgium for a flat sprint showdown.
The inaugural women's Great Sprint Classic on March 26 is a historic addition to the Belgian spring calendar. Lorena Wiebes, Lotte Kopecky, and Charlotte Kool lead a field that brings the best women's sprinters and all-rounders to a flat, tactical course.
Because this is the first women's edition, the key tactical question is whether the field treats it like a pure sprinters' day or starts using the exposed roads to make it selective much earlier.
