Only in the early evening do we know who wins this edition of Izegem Koers, but even before the competition, just about all eyes were focused on Tim Declercq. For the last time in ‘his’ Izegem as an active cyclist. From next season he is a trainer at Soudal Quick-Step, his former team.
In Izegem also attention for home drivers Louis Blouwe and Alex Vandenbulcke. The latter is also tipped as a contender for the win and also the provincial title. Izegem Koers is the provincial championship.
