In current times, the Tour of Flanders is synonymous with the duo of Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg. Previously the decision was made on 'De Muur', but with adjustments to the course, the left-hand direct of the Kwaremont and the hard right of the Paterberg is enough for many to grab eight count after that. A brilliant duo. Colloquially, it is also 'The Kwaremont' and 'The Pater'. The classic approach over Paddestraat, after which you turn right to tackle the 2.2-kilometre Kwaremont. During the rate<\/a> it is three to four rows thick here. The VIPs have the best view, because from the various tents they can see the riders conquering the Kwaremont and in the distance they can also see the Pater uphill. In clear weather, an intensely beautiful sight. This is where the heart of the Ronde beats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
