Gent-Wevelgem is an international WorldTour cycling classic that attracts the best riders every year. The wind and the hills (with the notorious Kemmelberg) of the Heuvelland make the race hard.

The race follows a unique route through the area that was the setting of the First World War 100 years ago. This is why the subtitle ‘In Flanders Fields’ is added to the classic’s name.

Gent-Wevelgem is played out one week ahead of the Ronde van Vlaanderen. On Wednesday you also have Dwars Door Vlaanderen. Perfect week to plan your cycling vacation!

The closing race of the Flemish Spring and the last of the Flanders Classics. A challenging circuit with a few really steep hills.

I love cycling, but bergs & cobbles are not my cup of tea.
