The Bredene Koksijde Classic, previously Handzame Classic, is a European single day cycle race held in the Belgian region of Flanders, starting in Bredene and finishing in Koksijde.[1]
History
Having been a part of the Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen from 2002 to 2010, race organisers decided to run the race as a single-day race from 2011 and organized as a 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour, raised to 1.HC status from 2018.[2] The race was previously known as Handzame Classic, but was renamed following a decision from the organisers to move the finish from Handzame to Koksijde.[3] The first edition under the new name was held in 2019.[4]
