The race:
The Gavere Cyclocross race is held in Gavere, Belgium, currently in December. It is part of the Telenet Superprestige series.
Gavere is a city of about 12,000 that is located in the Belgian province of East Flanders.
The first edition was held in 1983, won by Hennie Stamsnijder & Hanka Kupfernagel.
The site cyclinginflanders.cc writes, "No better place than Gavere to see what fall has to offer. Especially when rain showers may cover the horizon . The cyclocross race in Gavere has a well-known reputation for being muddy.
"The military domain track can be super slippery, has deep grooves so only riders with massive pedaling power and outstanding steering technique can win here."
In 2022 the race was run in February and December.
