Gent-Wevelgem name change

[midlandsgrimpeur]

So, from 2026 GW will be renamed as 'In Flanders Fields - from Middelkerke to Wevelgem'. Sounds like some ballad sung by Kathryn Jenkins. I suspect everyone will just call it GW. Imagine being the winner and having to do the press conference - "I am so glad to have won 'In Flanders Fields - from Middelkerke to Wevelgem"!

Hasn't it been the subtitle/slogan of the event for a few years?

Don't know is my honest answer. Could well have been but not something I had noticed.
