Germany’s Judith Arndt also managed to win the Tour of Flanders twice. In 2008, she beat American Kristin Armstrong in a sprint between the two of them. And in 2012, the final year of Arndt’s career, Armstrong again had to acknowledge the superiority of the German.  

Annemiek van Vleuten celebrated victory in the Tour of Flanders for the first time in 2011. The Dutch rider beat Tatiana Antoshina in a sprint between the two of them. Ten years later, it was again a victory for Van Vleuten. The former European champion made the difference on the Paterberg and arrived solo in Oudenaarde. 

Twelve years after Grace Verbeke, Lotte Kopecky crowned herself the second Belgian winner of Tour of Flanders in 2022. She beat Dutch rider Annemiek van Vleuten in a sprint with the two of them. A year later, Kopecky scored again. This time she finished a solo that started on Oude Kwaremont. At the 20th edition of the Tour of Flanders for women, she became the second rider in the history of the race to win Flanders' Finest two years in a row.
