Just realised the 2025 Ghent-6 is going on - it finishes Sunday! My earlier years saw me as a regular visitor, snapping such stars as Patrick Sercu, Tony Doyle, Rene Pijnen and Danny Clark. Gert Frank and Hans-Henrik Orsted (below) won in '84, a rare win against partisan locals..

It is the men's World Road Championships today, in KIngali, Rwanda, and so a chance to recall Joop Zoetemelk winning his world title in Italy - 40 years ago! He is the oldest-ever winner of the championship, and wore the Rainbow Jersey in the 1986 Tour de France at the age of 39!

Valladolid welcomes the Vuelta again, for a TT, just as it did in 1986 when Charly Mottet won, and in 1991 when Melchor Mauri won. Mathieu Hermans won two of his nine Vuelta sprint-stages into Valladolid in '88 & '89; Daniele Bennati won there in the 2012 Vuelta...
