Ah yes, the beautiful unspoilt old-world resort town of Ostend.   Kind of like Benidorm, if Benidorm was cold & windy.

The Oostende authorities had a long 'battle' about whether or not it could be held, but last week or so it was finally given the green light  

 

That's going to be a whole, whole lot of sand and other than that a bit of a boring track...if they wanted sand so badly to help Van Aert, they should have gone for the much better Koksijde or for Zonhoven and The Pit

You better make sure your laptop is too far away to be thrown out of the window.

Couldn’t be more flat if they’d pushed 100 snooker tables together.

But there's a bridge! And they go up the bridge twice a lap!

Actually it is not too bad, better than the cross-country running race courses they’ve had there.  Luckily also, it is real Jacques Brel weather.  De zee is grijze, de wind is stomme.  Plus  they are taking full advantage of the single 5m high hill that exists in the whole greater Ostend area.
