\u00c0 partir de 2026, la classique Hommes WorldTour Gand-Wevelgem partira de Middelkerke. Un partenariat de dix ans a \u00e9t\u00e9 sign\u00e9 entre l\u2019organisation, Flanders Classic, et la commune de Flandre-Occidentale situ\u00e9e sur les bords de la mer du Nord et qui accueillait ce week-end le Championnat d\u2019Europe de cyclo-cross. Depuis 2014, le d\u00e9part officiel se faisait \u00e0 Ypres.<\/p>\n
L\u2019\u00e9dition 2026, qui aura lieu le 29 mars, va ainsi conna\u00eetre du changement dans son parcours. Mais il ne sera pas boulevers\u00e9 puisque les Moeren, le Kemmelberg et les Plugstreets seront toujours sur la carte. \u201cUne chose est certaine : la Grande Guerre restera toujours profond\u00e9ment ancr\u00e9e dans cette course. L\u2019objectif est \u00e9galement de conserver le passage dans le centre d\u2019Ypres dans la partie finale. Cette course est impr\u00e9gn\u00e9e d\u2019histoire mondiale, ce qui lui conf\u00e8re une identit\u00e9 absolument unique dans le cyclisme. C\u2019est sur cela que nous continuerons \u00e0 nous appuyer\u201d, a indiqu\u00e9 dans un communiqu\u00e9 Tomas Van Den Spiegel, le patron de Flanders Classics.<\/p>\n
La course Femmes, qui se dispute le m\u00eame jour que celle des Hommes, aura \u00e9galement un nouveau lieu de d\u00e9part. Les concurrentes ne s\u2019\u00e9lanceront plus d\u2019Ypres mais de\u2026 Wevelgem, qui accueillera toujours l\u2019arriv\u00e9e des deux courses. \u201cL\u2019UCI fixe des distances de course maximales pour les \u00e9preuves f\u00e9minines, et nous devons nous y conformer. Cela rend un d\u00e9part des Femmes \u00e0 Middelkerke impossible\u201d, a indiqu\u00e9 Tomas Van Den Spiegel.<\/p>\n
En revanche, Ypres accueillera toujours en mai, le 10, toutes les courses jeunes de Gand-Wevelgem dont la Kattekoers chez les Espoirs Hommes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00c0 partir de 2026, la classique Hommes WorldTour Gand-Wevelgem partira de Middelkerke.
