2024 Dwars door Vlaanderen 

The 2024 event took place on its usual route between Roeselare and Waregem. It was a bitter sweet day for Team Visma | Lease a Bike as Matteo Jorgenson won Dwars but Wout van Aert crashed and his injuries knocked him out of the rest of the Classics with a broken collarbone. Wout will be even more motivated to win the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix in 2025!
