Omloop van de Vlasstreek was a Belgian post-WW II cycling race organized for the last time in 1994.[1]
Heule, a small village in the Kortrijk region in West-Flanders, was both start and finish place.[2]
In the first years, it was known as the G.P of Heule.[3]
The competition's roll of honor includes the successes of Briek Schotte and Willy Teirlinck.
