Video: The story of the Tour of Flanders
In this video, we tell the full story of the Tour of Flanders: the political fight that started it all in 1913, the cobbled hills that define it, the giants who won it, and why, 110 editions later, it keeps getting better.
Every year, 800,000 people line the roads of Flanders for a bike race. Bars open at dawn. Families claim their spot on a cobbled climb and don't move for hours. But de Ronde van Vlaanderen isn't just one of cycling's five Monuments. It's one of the only sporting events in the world that was created, deliberately, to build a national identity.
