The Tour of Flanders (Ronde Van Vlaanderen) is one of the biggest races in Belgium and has full tv coverage. It's on Eurosport all afternoon and obviously wall to wall on Belgian TV.
Dev has the flag on the descent of the Paterburg, which will feature at 3pm & 4pm, as the last climb of the day.
Please alert our Belgian friends in the press and other clubs that the protest has come to the "Ronde". If we can get this photo in the Belgian press it will be a big deal! It will spoil Roly Poly's Sunday lunch as well!
"Charlton protest against Duchatelet at the Ronde".
AFKA - If you can change the title of this thread to "Charlton protest at the Tour of Flanders (Ronde Van Vlaanderen), it will get a million hits as bike fans around the world search Tour of Flanders on the net.
TV coverage now on Eurosport 1. If you have never seen one of the Belgian classics it's worth a look. 136 Kms to go, the First ascent of the Paterberg is at 52 Kms to go. It's worth tuning in to see the ascent of the Ould Kwaremont at 55km to go. The Koppenberg after the Paterberg at 45km to go is brutal.

It's not so hard on all those drugs ;0)
Yeah, and according to today's papers, every other sport is at it as well.
Race is ahead of schedule. Just going over the Ould Kwaremont, the Paterberg is next for the first time. Fingers crossed for a sighting just after the leaders come off the top of the climb.
Belgian tv just cut away before Sagan passed the banner. I wouldn't be surprised if the director was aware of it and deliberately cut away.
Still, plenty of photos to come from Twitter and Liege-Bastogne-Liege to come in three weeks time. Who knows what might happen there, with the race passing the front door of Standard Liege. Someone send Roly one of those stress-balls.

Will keep an eye out on Sky
