Belgium • One-day Classic
Where the haunting echoes of the Great War meet the howling winds of De Moeren, riders battle through a landscape of sacrifice and grit. It is a grueling dance over the Kemmelberg's brutal cobbles and through the dust of the 'Plugstreets,' where only the hardiest sprinters survive to claim glory in Wevelgem.
