    Some major changes are in place for the finale of the Ronde from next year. No more Kapelmuur.......more here http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/belgians-mourn-decapitated-tour-of-flanders

    Seems a shame to remove such an iconic and beautiful climb but the decision seems to be based around crowd movements, so there obviously was an issue to solve.

    I wonder how this will affect the racing?

    Three laps of a circuit with two climbs, no more long attacks from Fabu? Should they just give the title to Gilbert now?
