First proper race of the season. A standard 200km Flanders one day race, set with cobbles, steep short hills, very twisty narrow roads, and hopefully some bad weather.

Can't help but notice that final little cobbled bit just before the finish.

Past winners:
2001 Michele Bartoli (ITA)
2002 Peter Van Petegem (BEL)
2003 Johan Museeuw (BEL)
2004 No race due to snow
2005 Nick Nuyens (BEL)
2006 Philippe Gilbert (BEL)
2007 Filippo Pozzato (ITA)
2008 Philippe Gilbert (BEL)
2009 Thor Hushovd (NOR) Cervélo
2010 Juan Antonio Flecha (ESP)
2011 Sebastian Langeveld (NED)

No-one who wins Het Nieuwsblad/Het Volk wins Flanders.
