164.1 km from Oudenaarde to Oudenaarde should reward the complete cobbled-classics leader who can climb, position, and attack without hesitation.
Ronde van Vlaanderen 2026 is scheduled for April 5, 2026 from Oudenaarde to Oudenaarde over 164.1 km. The women's Ronde is still the definitive Flemish Monument because every approach to every berg carries real consequence and the field knows it. The 2026 edition is listed at 164.1 km around Oudenaarde, with the familiar late sequence of bergs and cobbles shaping the race long before the finish straight comes into focus.
The storyline is whether the race crystallizes around one dominant leader or whether several all-rounders reach the final climbs with enough depth to keep attacking.
The women race usually turns in the final run through the Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg, so late positioning and the final hour matter most.
