Tadej Pogacar wins the 2026 Tour of Flanders, from Antwerp to Oudenaarde (278 km).

After an initial breakaway of 13 men, a group of 17 riders broke away from the group of favourites, including all the big names.

On the second pass over the Oude Kwaremont, Pogacar attacked, leaving only VDP and Evenepoel with him. On the Paterberg, Evenepoel broke away and fell just a few seconds behind the leading pair, while Van Aert and Pedersen chased behind, a minute behind.

On the final Oude Kwaremont, Pogacar pulls away and drops Van der Poel. The world champion wins his third Tour of Flanders. The five favorites finish in the top five, all separated by a gap.
2nd Vdp, 3rd Evenepoel, 4th Van Aert and 5th Pedersen.
