The race:
Binche-Chimay-Binche/Memorial Frank Vandenbroucke is a single-day road race held in Wallonia, Belgium.
It is an old race, first run in 1911, but it has had an intermittent history, not being held from 1931-1983 and 1997-2009. The 1984 and 1985 editions were criteriums
When it was reorganized in 2010, it was also made a commemoration of Belgian racer Frank Vendenbroucke, who had been the race's last winner and had died in 2009 at just 34 years of age.
In 2010 the UCI ranked it a 1.1 race and made it part of the Europe Tour.
