That cycling team is also at the start of Koolskamp Koers on Friday.
“The team can start,” says Mayor Véronique Buyck. “Before the competition, the threat level was raised to 2. In concrete terms, that means that a drone team of the police will be used. Moreover, more police officers on the course will also keep an eye on things. In this way we want to avoid any Pro-Palestinian protests such as in Spain.”
