On Sunday 18 October, the Tour of Flanders is on the programme. Given the current health situation in Belgium, we as organisation call on you to follow the race at home. It was therefore decided not to release any information about the course.
Anyhow, it will look something like this.

Besides, Rick will tell you it's about 10 kms short of being a puckka monument.

Season over for him. Was looking really strong before that working for Merlier. Wonder if he is going to give the spring classics a shot next year before switching to mountain bike for the olympics or if he will go full mountain bike all the way?!PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230

Some suggestions in Holland & Belgium he ought to get a grand tour in his legs to step up but not sure his camp buy into that.0 -

GB used to send Thomas off to do the Giro in his Olympic years so maybe he could do that. But I would have thought actual MTB would be better.Twitter: @RichN950 -
On a slightly different level. Tom Pidcock rode and won the baby Giro before winning the mountain bike u23 worlds.0

Who was the guy commentating with Magnus on de Panne? He was pretty good0
-
I thought Tim Merlier save when he touched wheels and ended up sat on the cross bar with both feet out of the pedals was probably one of the highlights of the season. I wasn’t sure if MVP was repeating his tactics from Flanders when he switched half the breakaway.0
