MONUMENTS IN MOVEMENTS

05-02-2012

The B.I.G challenge has one part of its superlist based on the wellknown climbs cycled by the professional races and likes very much those monuments of the cycling story.

Of course, the history has to move sometimes and to create some improvements in the classic races, but this year, one monument inside the monuments is moving : the Muur (Kapellemuur = Muur van Geraardsbergen-Grammont - nr 117).

Main climb in the Tour of Flanders since such a long time, last climb before the last Bosberg in the final area of the race, the Muur of the Flanders people, their Muur, disappeared of the race. On the other way, the final will be very impressive and surprising with three times our other B.I.G climbs Oud Kwaremont and Paterberg, but well, the Muur is not there anymore. It will be the arrival of the Eneco Tour during 5 years with some tours riding several times the cobbled streets and the finish lines in the "remparts" of the city, but it's not the same. It's just like if the Poggio disappears from Milan- San remo or if the Wall of Huy disappears from the Arrow of Wallonia.

We'll see if the change is a good thing or if the loss of a monument will delete something in the race. The B.I.G challenge of course keeps the Muur inside.
