PREVIEW | Dwars door het Hageland 2024 - Uno-X and Alpecin battle in the cobbles; Kasper Asgreen and Cyclocross leaders as big danger
Cycling
On June 8th, one of Belgium's beloved classics unfolds. The dynamic Dwars door het Hageland, known for its explosive nature, offers a prime opportunity for riders to gauge their form ahead of the national championships. Let's preview this exciting race.
The 177-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 18 cobbled sectors in total and plenty climbs - some of them cobbled, some not. It's a difficult race which has a cobbled uphill finish into the Diest Citadel, always a spectacular uphill finale.
Prediction Dwars door het Hageland 2024:
*** Jonas Abrahamsen, Kaden Groves, Riley Sheehan
** Rasmus Tiller, Soren Waerenskjold, Kasper Asgreen, Luca Mozzato
* Gianni Vermeersch, Quinten Hermans, Amaury Capiot, Jenthe Biermans, Laurenz Rex, Jenno Berckmoes, Alec Segaert, Emilien Jeanière, Pim Ronhaar, Toon Aerts
Pick: Jonas Abrahamsen

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
