Just why has Flanders, a small region of a small European country, had such a massive impact on world cycling?
What does it mean to be a "True Flandrien"?
How, over time, has the word Flandrien become synonymous with cyclists from anywhere embodying the same traits?
To help answer these questions, renowned author, historian and cycling journalist Chris Sidwells shares with you the untold stories and unseen photos from some of the region's most iconic riders and races.
Find out things you never knew before about some of the Cult Heroes of the Cobbles. From Briek Schotte to Rik Van Looy, the De Vlaeminck's, Freddy Maertens, Johan Museeuw, Tom Boonen and many others, with a twist at the end you won't expect; Chris utilises his life-long association with the sport, and over two decades of research, interviews and writing to immerse you into the spirit of the Flandrien.
