In Deinze, The seventeenth and last start of wielerklassieker Gent-Wevelgem in Deinze did the Market again flooding. Many Deinzenaren would find it a pity should the contract not be renewed, but mayor Jan Vermeulen (CD&V) is realistic. “At a reasonable price, we are happy to the cooperation further, but I will be the first mayor that his pants stop for the price.”

A great day for Deinze. Not a few local politicians, but also residents and bar owners take the word love in the mouth if the to Gent-Wevelgem is running. Because outside of Nokere Curonian and the Deinse Parties, there is only one event that the Market of Deinze is great to fill. Sunday left the 81st edition of the wielerklassieker for the seventeenth time in Deinze. The chance that this will be the last time, because the contract was not renewed for the next five years.
