2009 Ghent Wevelgem & Omloop Het Nieuwsbald

Two Disc Set!

Atrocious weather, massive crashes and non-stop action - this gritty, tense and highly prestigious Belgian Classic has it all. In Ghent-Wevelgem 2009, 21-year-old Edvald Boassen Hagen showed exactly why he is the Classics star of the future. Steeped in the best racing tradition, but with a new, exciting cast of young future stars, Ghent-Wevelgem has lots of local flavour, but makes for enthralling viewing for cycling fans world-wide.

Het Nieuwsblad 2009 is a journey into the netherworld of Belgian cycling Classics at their most potent. In this vintage ‘09 edition, Tour de France star Thor Hushovd manages to outwit the ferociously strong local opposition on terrain that is definitely not of the Norwegian’s making. But only just. A 240-minute dvd crammed with the very best of cobbled Classic action, Hushovd’s triumph is the culmination of a minor race epic with major appeal.
