Startlist Omloop het Nieuwsblad WE 2026 | Riders: Wiebes, Kopecky, Vollering, Backstedt, Ferguson and more

The women's peloton will be racing the Omloop het Nieuwsblad on the 28th of February. The Belgian classic, the first cobbled one of the spring, is a key point as riders test their winter form on the classic bergs of Flanders including the brutal Muur de Geraardsbergen. We take a look at its startlist.

First raced back in 2006, the women's Omloop het Nieuwsblad follows a similar course to that of the men and carries a significant amount of history, with plenty quality winners in the past. In the last decade alone we've had victors such as Anna van der Breggen, Lucinda Brand, Lizzie Deingnen, Annemiek van Vleuten, Lotte Kopecky and Marianne Vos. The 2025 edition saw a shocking outcome as Lotte Claes too the victory from the day's breakaway, which was given a massive gap late into the race.

Download the startlist in A4. We have Team SD Worx - ProTime present with Lotte Kopecky and Lorena Wiebes at the start, but they will not go unrivalled as Demi Vollering is leading in FDJ United - Suez into the Belgian classic. The likes of Elisa Balsamo, Juliette Berthet, Zoe Bäckstedt, Katarzyna Niewiadoma, Elisa Chabbey and Cat Ferguson are also set to take to the start.
