Who Can Stop Kopecky From Making It Three in a Row?

Our women’s race is gearing up for its 6th edition. On Wednesday, March 19, the women elite will take on our revamped finish in Nokere. Along the way, they’ll tackle numerous climbs and cobblestones. Will we see another solo victory? Or perhaps a powerful bunch sprint?

A large prize pool, live broadcasting, and a challenging yet safe course are the ingredients we hope will attract the top teams in women’s cycling to the start line in Deinze. The race kicks off at 10:30 AM and finishes shortly after 2:00 PM on Waregemsestraat, the new finish location for Danilith Nokere Koerse.

The riders will face a demanding course, including two cobblestone circuits in the finale, featuring the Lange Ast, Doorn, and Huisepontweg. In total, the race covers 134 kilometers with a challenging 17 kilometers of cobblestones. There are 10 climbs, 5 of which are cobbled, and the course has a total elevation gain of 951 meters.

With so many opportunities to make a difference, it’s anyone’s game. Lotte Kopecky proved that in the last two years. In 2024, she dropped her last breakaway companions 7 km from the finish. Will she aim for a third consecutive victory, once again in her stunning rainbow jersey?
