The officially unbelievable Ronde van vlaanderen

In 2020, the Ronde van Vlaanderen couldn't take place because of the Covid pandemic. But we made sure it started anyway! Cycling in Flanders, Flanders Classics and Sporza joined forces to create a radio play: The Officially Unbelievable Ronde van Vlaanderen. We transported cycling fans to an era of unwritten, thrilling cycling history - just as if you were listening to the commentary to a genuine, live cycling race.

This was, without any doubt, the most exciting Ronde ever - because it was so much more than just another race. Get ready for a story with some incredible plot twists, featuring cameo appearances by heroes from one hundred years of cycling history such as Eddy Merckx, Johan Museeuw, Fabian Cancellara, Mario Cipollini, Briek Schotte, Bradley Wiggins, Fausto Coppi and the Van der Poel family. It is a race into which a full century of anecdotes and tales having to do with the Tour of Flanders have been incorporated, and in which both male and female riders participated: Marianne Vos, Yvonne Reynders, Jeannie Longo and Annemiek van Vleuten were also competing alongside the male cyclists.

Don't miss this unique storytelling concept and tune in. Rob Hatch and Matt Stephens will take you along on the virtual 2020 Tour of Flanders with exceptional live commentary.
