Handzame Classic 2018 – Bredene – Handzame : 204,1 km
Handzame Classic is a European single day cycle race held in the Belgian region of Flanders, with a finish in Handzame. Having been a part of the Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen from 2002 to 2010, race organisers decided to run the race as a single-day race from 2011 and organized as a 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour.
Álvaro José Hodeg (Quick-Step Floors) claimed his first pro win on Friday at the Handzame Classic in Belgium, taking a chaotic sprint victory ahead of Team Sky’s Kristoffer Halvorsen and Bora-Hansgrohe’s Pascal Ackermann after 204km of racing.
