Belgium • One-day Classic
A haunting odyssey through the wind-scoured plains of De Moeren, where the 'Plugstreets' carry the heavy weight of history and the ghosts of the Great War. It is a race where the brutal gradients of the Kemmelberg shatter the dreams of many, leaving only the hardest of men to battle the howling gales for a victory forged in the crucible of West Flanders.
