Video: The story of the Tour of Flanders

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.
Live the Tour with Factor
Founded by former pro and carbon-engineering pioneer, Rob Gitelis, Factor’s core is defined by a spirit of invention and risk-taking to push the limits of what a performance bicycle can be. But the goal is more than just performance. Our bikes are a catalyst for experience, emotion, and discovery. They are freedom made physical.
