The back of the jersey features an embroidered rear pocket with colour-matched ribbon binding.
The Ronde van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders) was first organised in 1913 as a way of promoting sports newspaper, Sportwereld. Today the race takes place in April, though early editions were often held on the same day as Milan-Sanremo. Regarded as one of the more important Monuments, the big UCI Pro Tour one-day races, it is a source of huge pride for the cycling-mad Flandrians of northern Belgium. Known locally as ‘ De Ronde’, & to a lesser extent ‘ Vlaanderens mooiste’ (Flanders’ finest), the race is infamous for its steep & narrow cobbled climbs, such as the Kappelmuur & Bosberg, which are always lined with thousands of screaming fans.
