The grueling Tour of Flanders is teeming with short, sharp and steep climbs. The riders will leave from Antwerp, while the infamous Muur van Geraardsbergen is making a come-back in 2017. The last 75 kilometres are a replica of recent editions, so the finale is marked by the cobbled climbs up Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg. The route of the 2017 Tour of Flanders totals 259.5 kilometres.
