sportives on belgian pave'

ugo.santalucia

Beside the famous Ronde van Vlaanderen,

I seem to gather there are sportives linked to other PRO races on pave', in particular the E3 Prijs Harelbeke and the Het nieuwsblad (formerly Het Volk).

However, I don't seem to find any information on the web about them... does anyone know anything about these?

What i do know Ugo is there is the Eddy Merckx cyclosportive gran fondo

Thanks,

looks like this one is in the Ardennes though, not sure it's on cobbles. :roll:

I don't think its quite what you're after, but this has some on it whose routes include some of the cobbled bergs and so on:

Actually, the Eddy Merckx one is part of the same series.

SO SORRY I copied the wrong link over
This is the event I meant but I was a bit mislead as this doesn't look like it has cobbles either
