Dirt, Cobbles & Cake Theft?! | Gravel Tour Of Flanders

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

The Tour of Flanders, or De Ronde van Vlaanderen, is a race adored by many, and now there's a gravel edition, where you can ride on the cobbles, rough terrain and the infamous Koppenberg, with its 22% maximum gradient! Shimano invited Alex to have a go at the 160km route, but will he have what it takes to ride the whole thing?
