Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled

A Belgian one-day road cycling race in the province of Antwerp, first held in 1907 and often described as the oldest surviving race in Flanders, traditionally run on the Wednesday between the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix and finishing in Schoten, with a mostly flat course that suits sprinters; Marcel Kittel holds the record with five wins, and the race has had crashes in bunch finishes, prompting safety debates. It has been classed 1.HC, 1.1 and now 1.Pro in the UCI ProSeries, as registry class codes reflect, and a women s race also exists. Recent winners and routes should be checked against current sources.
