Flemish Cycling Week

Last updated

The Flemish Cycling Week (Dutch:Vlaamse Wielerweek) or simply Flemish Week, is a series of five road cycling races held in Flanders in late March and early April.

Contents

The series in fact spans two weeks. It has begun with Classic Brugge–De Panne since 2018 and ends 11–12 days later with the Tour of Flanders, which is the most important race of the series. [1] [2]

Events

Since 2018, the series has consisted of five one-day races:

Originally the Brabantse Pijl was part of the Flemish Cycling Week as it was run the Sunday before the Tour of Flanders, but in 2010 it was rescheduled to a later date, because the race course was more suitable for riders participating in the Ardennes classics. The gap in the calendar was filled by Gent-Wevelgem, which used to be held on the Wednesday after the Tour of Flanders.
