Flanders Classics Women Closing the Gap Flanders Classics Women Closing the Gap Introduction FLANDERS CLASSICS WOMEN CLOSING THE GAP FLANDERS CLASSICS WOMEN CLOSING THE GAP INTRODUCTION Flanders is, and will always be all about cycling! It is the heartland of cycling and therefore we are able to draw on a rich heritage when it comes to cycling. At Flanders Classics however, we also like to look ahead, in line with our values of innovation and evolution. We like to think of our races as monuments in full motion. In terms of women’s cycling, Flanders Classics has always been a pioneer. For example, in 2020 the Tour of Flanders will be organised for the 17th time, and Omloop Het Nieuwsblad for the 15th year running. In recent years, major progress has been made in terms of the professionalisation of several women’s sports disciplines. Everyone is starting to realise that we can and must do better. Moreover, the further development of women’s cycling is also a priority. The cycling world therefore faces some major and interesting challenges. Flanders Classics aims to continue to play a pioneering role in these developments. Flanders Classics is proud to present this ambitious three-year plan that uses specific initiatives and pre-defined objectives as a guideline. Together, we hope to build a beautiful future, raising the women’s side of our much-loved sport to the level it is entitled to.

For example, larger-than-life sports heroes are inspiring and motivating role models. We need these role models and idols to guarantee the sport’s survival and growth. Local commitment and the community’s involvement are just as vital. That is why it is crucial that we develop a community and engage with the fans. ACTION POINTS • Appointing several ambassadors (m/f) who are role models for society and incorporate these role models in the campaign via storytelling. • Pre-rides on the courses of the various races in the presence of an ambassador. • Podcasts about women’s cycling and our women’s races. • Organising of polls during the race. Involvement of fans before and during the race. LET’S CLOSE FLANDERS CLASSICS Harensesteenweg 228 1800 Vilvoorde [email protected] +32 474 55 45 13 .

  • Thor Hushovd Storfavoritt I Omloop Het Nieuwsblad
    28-02-2014 13:32 CET Thor Hushovd storfavoritt i Omloop Het Nieuwsblad Omloop Het Nieuwsblad er det første store sykkelrittet i årets sesong. Store deler av verdenseliten stiller til start, og man får en bra pekepinn på hvem som er i form foran sykkelsesongen. Norge stiller med flere sterke ryttere. Thor Hushovd er en av favorittene og har et bra BMC-lag i ryggen. Både Edvald Boasson Hagen og Gabriel Rasch kjører også i år for Team Sky, mens Alexander Kristoff fra Katush har allerede en etappeseier fra årets Tour of Oman. Lover bra Sykkelkommentator i Viasat Sport HD, Kjell-Erik Kristiansen, har stor tro på de norske utøverne i år. - Thor Hushovd kjørte 16 mil i utbrudd i Tour de Haut Var i forrige uke, og han støtet i fra sine utbryterkolleger og kjørte flere mil alene foran feltet. Det lover bra. Hagen viste ikke like bra form i fjor som tidligere år, men han vil nok gjerne vise lagledelsen i Sky hva han kan i år, sier Kristiansen. Hard konkurranse De norske rytterne vil få hard konkurranse om seieren i Omloop Het Nieuwsblad blant annet fra Tom Boonen og Luca Peolini. Boonen har til tross fjorårets katastrofesesong imponert hittil i år. Paolini vant fjorårets ritt. - Dette blir et svært spennende og åpent ritt med flere mulig vinnere, også et par av de norske, sier Kristiansen. Mer sykkel på Viasat Viasat Sport har kjøpt rettighetene til å sende totalt 8 sykkelritt i 2014, i tillegg til selve sykkel-VM i Spania i september. Se fullstendig oversikt nederst i saken.

  • A Slovak Superstar: Peter Sagan
    A Slovak superstar: Peter Sagan Peter Sagan, planet's most successful cyclist, was born in Slovakia in 1990. With 89 victories he goes by motto »Wake up and be happy«. Sep 29, 2017 Photo credit: Reuters Pictures Peter Sagan can do it all – he is one of the world’s most powerful and skilled bike riders, a sprinter and is also considered to be one of the cycling’s greatest talents. This claim is proved by the list of his major wins: 7 stage wins Tour de France, 5 points competition Tour de France, 2015 Tour of California, 2015 road race world champion, 2016 road race world champion, and 2016 Tour of Flanders. He is a Slovakian professional road-bicycle racer for UCI WorldTeam Bora-Hansgrohe. He started as a mountain bike racer and in 2008, before moving to road racing won the Junior Mountain Bike World Championship. On September 24th this year, Sagan won the World Championship for the third consecutive year at the World Road Race Championships in Norwegian Bergen and became the first cyclist to win three gold medals at the World Championship in a row! Photo credit: AFP Bratislava’s own motto of “Accessibility-Innovation-Execution” should also be the motto for the whole country and for every aspect. Slovaks surely are an amazing nation, successful in all fields one can imagine. Their pride and happiness reflected on their champion Peter Sagan surely gave the Slovaks a worldwide popularity and some hope to host some cycling events as, for example, “Gran Fondo”. Slovaks are ready, what about the World? While considering to organise the race in the Slovak Republic, let us keep in mind that those are the people who actually go from words to actions.

He finished off the season strongly, with third overall at the Tour of Denmark and second in a stage at the Vuelta a España (despite a nasty crash midway through the Spanish tour), followed by third overall at Circuit Franco-Belge and fourth at Paris-Bourges.
