Le Domestique Bespoke Tour of Flanders Experience Ride 12th March 2016 History of the Race With the Ronde van Vlaanderen or Tour of Flanders as it is more common- ly known, celebrating its 100th edition in 2016 (having only missed 3 editions since its inception in 1913 due toWorld War 1), now really is the time to sample this incredible race route first hand. 63 of the 99 editions have been won by a Belgium rider, with the race and tactics required to win it, evolving over time. No rider has won more than 3 editions, leading to many saying that to win this particular racer requires a huge amount of luck, above and beyond that of the other Spring Classics. The route has changed over the years with the current race route having been used since 2012 when the race finish moved to Oudenaarde. The Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg now feature as the final two climbs of the route, witnessing some of the biggest battles in professional cycling.

  • WINTER 2011 Andreas Klier
    WINTER 2011 Andreas Klier "Only those who are in top condition can say that the Ronde is not hard. For everyone else, it's the Way of the Cross." – Andrea Tafi The Ronde van Vlaanderen, also known as Vlaanderens Mooiste - Flanders's Most Beautiful - is a classic like no other in the entire sport of cycling. Nowhere does a race so perfectly encapsulate an area's passion for the bicycle. A trip down the 250+ kilometers of road on Easter Sunday in Flanders will show you an entire country out to celebrate arguably the most difficult one day race in the world. For those that wish to win the Tour of Flanders, the race becomes something more than just another Sunday classic. For a rider like Garmin-Cervelo's road captain, Andreas Klier, it meant becoming a part of the landscape. Klier, born and raised in Germany, moved to Belgium when he became a professional, and spent over a decade plying the region's intricate web of tiny farm roads that give the biggest home field advantage in sports to riders who know all the secrets of their home turf. Klier recently moved away from Belgium, but when he returned for a cold, December photoshoot with Castelli, the hardman was all smiles. Despite the icy, snowy, freezing conditions, the former Tour of Flanders runner-up couldn't stop smiling. It was apparent that though Klier might not have been born here and might not still live here, his heart and soul will always have a home in Flanders. The cobbled monsters of the tough, hilly region of Flanders known as the Vlaamse Ardennen are difficult on a good day, but with icy coating the classic climbs of the Oude Kwaremont, the Paterberg, and the Koppenberg, a whole new level was achieved.

    102nd TOUR OF FLANDERS Sunday 1 April 2018 Last year, spectators of the Tour of Flanders, which celebrated its 101st anniversary, were treated to yet another epic race. For the first time in the Tour’s history, the start was moved to the heart of Antwerp’s magnificent historic city centre. The race itself proved to be an absolutely thrilling experience, with hun- dreds of thousands of fans lining Flemish roads. And finally, we celebrated the return of the iconic Muur van Geraardsbergen in the circuit. But the real cherry on the cake was Belgian champion Philippe Gilbert’s incredible break, a fitting end to a solo 55 km ride. The 102nd edition of “Flanders’ Finest” will undoubtedly continue the tradition of offering a spectacle like no other. Antwerp will once again be the epicentre of the cycling world for a day. Meanwhile, the Paterberg- Oude Kwaremont tandem impatiently awaits the arrival of the gladiators on their bicycles while the city of Oudenaarde is already gearing up for an epic climax. Cyclists and cycling fans from all corners of the world will spend months looking forward to Sunday 1 April. Because on this day, an entire nation is roused by this thrilling cycling race. And you can be there too. Our VIP arrangements give you the chance to watch the race all day long.

    1-1-2019 Nieuws 2018 Professional Continental Cycling Team Topsport Vlaanderen - Baloise Nieuws 2018 De Ketele - De Pauw voorop, nog twee dagen te gaan 07 January 2018 - Wooning Zesdaagse van Rotterdam (CL2, NED) Nog twee dagen te gaan in de 36e Wooning Zesdaagse van Rotterdam. Kenny De Ketele en Moreno De Pauw voeren er de stand aan voor twee Nederlandse koppels. Niki Terpstra en Dylan van Baarle volgen op één ronde en op plaats drie en op twee ronden volgen Yoeri Havik en Stroetinga. Ons duo nam al autoritair de leiding na dag één en begon aan dag drie met twee ronden voorsprong. Niki Terpstra en Dylan van Baarle wisten dan één ronde terug te nemen. Trainingsstage Calpe 2018: Walter Planckaert blikt vooruit 09 January 2018 - Teamnieuws Vandaag en vooral morgen zullen onze renners en stafleden aankomen in hotel Gran Hotel Sol y Mar in het Spaanse Calpe - Alicante om er 10 dagen te trainen. Daarmee zitten we in de laatste rechte lijn richting wegseizoen 2018. We spraken vooraf al even kort met Walter Planckaert. Ploegleiding en omkadering zullen liefst negentien renners opvolgen en begeleiden tijdens deze stage. Afwezig zijn onze pistiers Kenny De Ketele, Moreno De Pauw en neoprof Robbe Ghys, zij rijden de zesdaagse van Bremen. Goed nieuws alvast is dat al onze renners fit zijn, ook zij die vorig jaar met blessures aan de kant stonden. Amaury Capiot bijvoorbeeld, out na tot 2 maal toe knie-operaties, traint goed mee. Net als Benjamin Declercq, eind vorig jaar out door eveneens een knieblessure. Piet Allegaert liep in december tijdens een individuele trainingsstage in het zuiden een breukje op aan het kopje in de enkel maar ook hij heeft de trainingen hervat.
