Willem (10) is the youngest participant in the Tour of Flanders for cycling tourists: “But at the finish I put my two arms in the air, like the real drivers”

His chain is lubricated, the drinking bottles filled. The raincoat is ready. “I’m going to be completely wet and I don’t like that very much,” says Willem Vanseveren (10). As the youngest of all 15,000 participants, he will soon ride the Tour of Flanders – for cycling tourists, of course. “I’m going to wait for the sprint and then I’ll fly past my daddy.”
