Preview. On the 10th of June takes place one of Belgium's most popular classics. Ahead of the national championships the explosive Dwars door het Hageland will provide an opportunity for many to test their form.
The 176-kilometer race is perfect for chaos. In northern Belgium the organizers have plotted a route which is filled with cobbled and gravel sectors alongside short and sharp climbs. It's as explosive as it can be, as hard as a spring classic but with a shorter distance. There are 14 cobbled sectors in total and 10 bergs which the organizers have categorized. It's a difficult race which has a cobbled uphill finish into the Diest Citadel, always a spectacular finale.
Prediction Dwars door het Hageland 2023:
*** Mathieu van der Poel
** Timo Kielich, Rasmus Tiller, Yves Lampaert
* Dries de Bondt, Gianni Vermeersch, Florian Vermeersch, Casper Pedersen, Sep Vanmarcke, Alexander Kristoff, Soren Waerenskjold
Pick: Mathieu van der Poel
