The History Maker

A genuine Belgian Classic in its own right, Ghent-Wevelgem is rightly treasured by cycling fans world-wide as a race with its own vintage character and recent past winners as prestigious as Mario Cipollini and American star George Hincapie. It's no wonder Wevelgem's roll of honor is so wide-ranging, either, given that the mid-week event is considered both a revenge match for Flanders and a vital ride to prepare for Paris-Roubaix on the weekend. For those two reasons alone, there's never a dull moment in Ghent-Wevelgem, and if you add in the sprinters - who've often made their mark on this event - to an already explosive mix, that could explain why this is always such a firecracker of a race. If you want to see how one team can simply take a race by the scruff of its neck, you'll find this record of the 2004 Ghent-Wevelgem a must-have experience! In this Belgian beauty of a one-day Classic, Quick Step-Davitamon's seven blue-clad giants of the road deliver a faultless performance that leaves their rivals shivering in appalling weather conditions and totally at their mercy. The Quick Step tour de force this spring also bore witness to a crucial change in generations, with Classics monster Johan Museeuw passing on the mantle of team leadership to his protege, Tom Boonen. A gripping show of collective strength, climaxing in an electrifying dash for glory by Boonen and his rivals in the streets of Wevelgem.
