The Omloop der Zuid-West-Vlaamse Bergen was a Belgian post-WW II cycling race organized for the last time in 1975.[1]
The course, between 140 and 200 km, was situated in West Flanders, against the French border. Poperinge was both start and finish place.[2]
The competition's roll of honor includes the successes of Jozef Planckaert and Jean-Pierre Monseré.
