Parcours
Route changes for 2026
- Infamous chicane before Arenberg removed — replaced by a detour through the Arenberg mining site (four 90° turns in final km before the forest)
- New configuration hardens the beginning of the race — dense sequence of 4–5 pavé sectors near Briastre with almost no asphalt between them
- Promises earlier selection before the legendary sectors
