ENJOY OUR OPENING CLASSIC is the message from the organising committee “Royal Sporting club Kuurne” It is certain: the race is on!! this Sunday 28 February 2021. We have done everything we can to make our opening classic Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne possible under safe conditions, and to spoil the many thousands of cycling fans with an exciting race on TV. Ok, it will be without an audience sometime, but watching the race from the couch can be just as fun.It is what you make of it. A wisdom that we all know by now.
