Cobbled Classics season is now in full swing, with one of the most prestigious races on the spring calendar, In Flanders Fields (a.k.k Gent-Wevelgem), holding its 88th edition (13th for the women's race) on Sunday.
The race, a circuitous adventure in West Flanders close to the French border, has a new identity this year. Gent hasn't actually hosted the race start since 2002, but now, following spells in Deinze and Ypres, the race start shifts to the North Sea town of Middelkerke.
