The second running of the Tour of Flanders for Women, a women's road cycling race in Belgium, was held on 3 April 2005. The race started in Oudenaarde and finished in Ninove, taking in 12 climbs and covering a total distance of 112 kilometres (70 miles). It was the fourth round of the 2005 UCI Women's Road World Cup.[2] Dutch rider Mirjam Melchers-Van Poppel won the race, after distancing her teammate and breakaway companion Susanne Ljungskog.[1]
The race for third place ended in farcical circumstances. The chasing group of 20 riders, including World Cup leader Oenone Wood, was sent the wrong way in the final two kilometres and crossed the finish line in the opposite direction.[3] None of the riders in the group were included in the final result. Italian Monia Baccaille was officially placed third, after winning the sprint of the third group.[1]
