Belgian bike race
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cyclo-cross Gavere also known as Cyclocross Asper-Gavere is a cyclo-cross race held in Gavere, Belgium. It is held on the banks of the river Scheldt in the vicinity of the Grenier castle. A cyclo-cross race on or near the current location had been organized since 1955 as a standalone race, but in 1983 the race was included in the first edition of the Superprestige series which it continued to be part of until 2022. Since 2023 the race has been part of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup.
