Beautiful Ronde van Vlaanderen : wij zijn er klaar voor! [YT] cinema ad for Nieuwsblad Ronde van Vlaanderen reporting. The ad was made by no less than Belgian film director Baron Stijn Coninckx. I think this movie touches the love for the Flandrien spirit very well. A Flandrien is "a cyclist who makes the competition hard by always choosing for the attack, never stopping until he reaches almost dead at the finish line. The word got its origing during the Flemish cycling competitions in the Interbellum when cyclists always had to fight against the badly places cobolstones on the Flemish roads."Found via Stijn Vercamer.
