I can't believe, with CoVid19 having such a fun run at the moment, that they still have crowds lining the streets. It's as if they want more of it & have given up.
About the Ronde van Vlaanderen ; according to the organisation there should be zero spectators.
80% of the race is blocked/shielded by the police, it should be impossible to be a spectator there.
And this 80% includes all parts of the race that could be decisive and where normally the crowd is huge.
There is a big campaign ( for example on tv and on billboards ) to inform the Belgian people not to go to the race.
We should only see a few people as spectators who live directly at the race road, they can watch from their garden or drive way.
And they are forbidden to invente many guests to watch RVV, as I understand it, they check for this before the cyclists arrive.
In the Netherlands a group of max 4 persons is the rule, but I don't know the corona rules in Belgium.
Of course, this is all still theoretically, it remains to be seen how it goes in practise.
I'm a little bit worried about the 20% that is not blocked because this classic race is almost an religion to the Flemish people.
But maybe the Flemish(/Belgian) people are the first smart people who really achieve to have no spectators in a cycling race.
In contrast to for example French cycling races (including TdF stages) where they announced also that there would be no spectators,
and in practise it was crowded full of spectators like there was no corona.
According to me the Belgians are more smart than the French, so it could be that RVV is the first cycling race in 2020 without spectators.
Let's hope this is the case.
