The race started and finished in
Oudenaarde, in the province of
East Flanders. Compared to the
2017 and
2018 event, the route is extended four kilometers, totalling 157.4 km, making it the longest women's race in the history of the Tour of Flanders. It starts in the centre of
Oudenaarde, before heading east towards
Zottegem where two flat cobbled sectors are addressed, and returning to Oudenaarde, after which a larger loop towards
Geraardsbergen begins, which features 10 hills in the
Flemish Ardennes. After the
Muur van Geraardsbergen and
Kanarieberg comes the
Taaienberg, which features for the first time in the women's race, coming at 40 km from the finish. The final four hills – Taaienberg,
Kruisberg-Hotond,
Oude Kwaremont and
Paterberg are identical to the men's finale. The top of the Paterberg, the last climb of the day, comes at 13.3 km from the finish, ensued by a flat run-in towards Oudenaarde. ==Teams==
