The 104th edition of the Tour of Flanders – scheduled on Sunday, October 18th – will be the last Monument race of the 2020 season, as Paris-Roubaix has been cancelled due to Covid-19 pandemic.

Safety measures have been adopted for the Belgian cobbled Classic too. This year’s shortened course won’t feature some iconic climbs as the Muur van Geraardsbergen and the Tenbosse, while the Oude Kwaremont, Paterberg and Koppenberg are confirmed. The start will still be in Antwerp but moved to the Steenplein and without spectators as the finish in Oudenaarde.
