Flemish Cycling Week


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. The week spans in fact more than seven days as it begins with Dwars door Vlaanderen and ends eleven days later with the Tour of Flanders, which is ultimate race and pinnacle of the week.

The week consists of four one-day races and one stage race:

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.
