As I had some free time and am excited about this one, I thought I would get this thread up and running.

The 64th edition of the race takes place this Friday (26th March) starting and finishing in Harelbeke. Hpwever, the peloton will have to negotiate (amongst others) the small matter of the Tiegemberg, Karnemelkbeekstraat, Oude Kwaremont, Paterberg, Kapelberg, Stationsberg, Eikenberg, Boigneberg, Berg Ten Stene and Taaienberg before crossing the finish line.

For a little idea of what the peloton will be experiencing, I've just enjoyed watching this little preview video of the route: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks_MOwJ6bcA&t=5s
