This is a so-called One-Shot from the Tour of Flanders course. Which means it was only on the Tour of Flanders route once. This climb is not worth mentioning. A smaller steep section, a downhill stretch and then a bit of false flat to the top. This slope - also called the Bovenstraat - is also part of the Flandrien Challenge. It won't hurt you and if it would be included in the Ronden today, it would probably not be mentioned as a separate slope.

Dit is een zogenaamde One-Shot uit het ronde van Vlaanderen parcours. Wat wil zeggen dat ie slechts één keer in het parcours van de Ronde van Vlaanderen zat. Noemswaardig is deze klim ook niet. Een kleiner steil stukje, een afdalende strook en dan een stukje vals plat tot boven. Deze helling - ook wel de Bovenstraat genoemd - zit ook als helling in de Flandrien Challenge. Pijn doe je jezelf er niet mee en als ie hedentendage zou opgenomen worden in de Ronden zou ie waarschijnlijk niet als afzonderlijke helling worden benoemd.
