The Opening Weekend is one of the most prominent weekends of racing in pro cycling as it features the first high-level cobbled classics of the year. The second of which is Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne, which should provide an opportunity for the sprinters aswell as the cobbled classics specialists.
The race features 196.5 kilometers in the roads of Flandres in what is a rather sprinter-friendly course, however that is of course if they survive the sequence of bergs that exist. Among them are some hard ones including the Mont Saint-Laurent (1.2Km; 7.3%; 78.5Km to go), Côte du Trieu (1.1Km; 5.6%; 52,5Km to go) and the Kluisberg (1.2Km; 7.1%; 60Km to go).
