Route of the 2023 Ronde van Vlaanderen
The race was won by Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates, becoming only the third rider in history to win both the Tour de France and the Tour of Flanders. After attacking on the second ascent of Oude Kwaremont and Koppenberg to force a selection, Pogačar attacked on the last ascent of the Oude Kwaremont with around 18 kilometres remaining to drop his rivals, soloing the remainder of the race to win his third different cycling monument and fourth overall.[2][3] Second place went to last year's winner, Mathieu van der Poel of Alpecin–Deceuninck, 16 seconds behind the Slovenian. Van der Poel, together with Wout van Aert, were the only riders able to go with Pogačar's initial attacks. Van der Poel dropped van Aert with an acceleration on the Kruisberg before getting distanced by the Slovene's race-winning attack. Third place went to Mads Pedersen of Trek–Segafredo after he outsprinted a group of seven to take the final podium spot. Pedersen was part of a group that went just after the Molenberg with around 100 kilometres remaining, holding a lead of three minutes over the main favorites at one point. Pedersen attacked the group with 30 kilometres to go before he was caught and passed by Pogačar and van der Poel on the second ascent of Oude Kwaremont.[4][5]
Filip Maciejuk of Team Bahrain Victorious was disqualified during the first half of the race after provoking a "huge accident" when rejoining the road.[6] Many in the peloton were taken down in the crash,[2] with Peter Sagan and Tim Wellens abandoning the race as a result.[6] Maciejuk subsequently apologised for his actions, stating "This should not happen and was a big error in my judgement."[6]
