Flanders Classics

Flanders Classics is an official cooperation among the organizers of the classic cycle races held in Flanders, Belgium. It was founded in 2009 and comprises seven races, of which the Tour of Flanders, one of the monuments of cycling classics, is considered the most prestigious.

Mission

The mission of the Flanders Classics is to ensure the position of the Flemish Classics in the international cycling calendar. By doing this the organization improves the stature of the smaller Flemish races. The cooperation has already achieved a better date for three of the races: Gent–Wevelgem is now held on the Sunday between Milan–San Remo and the Ronde van Vlaanderen; the Scheldeprijs is held between the Ronde and Paris–Roubaix; and, the Brabantse Pijl is held before the Ardennes classics, which consist of the Amstel Gold Race, La Flèche Wallonne and Liège–Bastogne–Liège.

Since 2021, all six of the classic races held by Flanders Classics have held men's and women's races. From 2023, races offer equal prize money for both men's and women's races. From 2025, Flanders Classics has managed and organised the Amstel Gold Race.

Cyclo cross

Apart from the road Classics, Flanders Classics also organizes cyclo-cross events inside and outside Belgium. Since 2018 Superprestige series has been organized by Flanders Classics in Belgium. Under the auspices of UCI, Flanders Classics also organizes the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup which takes place in various venues worldwide.
