A look back at the whole Flanders thing and what it meant to the Café
This final* post is appropriately dedicated to, uh, for shorthand let’s call it Belgium and the Classics. Shorthand because if naturally includes France and the Netherlands to a significant degree, not to mention riders from around the globe. To the extent that concerns the thing I wrote about the most, that would be the cobbled classics, though it’s hard not to loop in the Ardennes as a necessary tangent.
