S12 Ep17: Arrivée | Tour of Flanders 2024 | Men's Race

In our second Arrivée episode of the Classics season, Daniel Friebe & Richard Abraham deliver their verdict on the 108th edition of the Tour of Flanders or Ronde van Vlaanderen.

With Wout van Aert’s spring campaign ruined by a crash in Dwars door Vlaanderen on Wednesday, the Belgian’s long-time bête noire, Mathieu van der Poel, started the race as the hot favourite. Find out whether MvdP could become the first reigning world champion since Peter Sagan in 2016 to ride to Flanders glory in the rainbow jersey - or who among the cast of challengers, led by Mads Pedersen & Matteo Jorgenson, managed to thwart him.
