The 80th edition of the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad takes place on Saturday, 1 March. The race marks the opening of the Belgian cycling calendar and features a lot of climbs from the Tour of Flanders. The Wall of Geraardsbergen/Bosberg combo marked the finale of the last editions. At approximately 200 kilometres, the Omloop is the first race in the Flemish Opening Weekend – the other one being Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne. (Slideshow route/profile)
