The race:
The Cyclocross Koppenberg was part of the BPost Bank Trophy cyclocross competition but is now part of the X2O Badkamers (X2O Bathrooms) Trophy.
It is held in the Belgian city of Oudenaarde.
The race uses the famed Koppenberg climb (made famous in the Tour of Flanders) which is very steep and cobbled.
The first edition was held in 1988.
In 1999 there were two editions, one held on January 3 and the other on November 1.
In 2021 the women's race was renamed the G.P. Jolien Verschueren.
The race is a very big deal. It is said that there were 15,000 spectators lining the course in 2006.
