All eight Women’s WorldTeams and 16 UCI Women’s Continental Teams will be ready to take on the Flemish Ardennes and fight for the win at the finish line on the Onderwijslaan in Ninove.
Great traditions need to be cherished and therefore the men’s and women’s teams taking part in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad will be presented to the public together at ’t Kuipke in Ghent.
