At 5 april 2008 the Tourversion of the Ronde van Vlaanderen was cycled. You could choose to cycle distances between 75 km an dthe full 256 km. Despite the bad weather Tom chose to ride the 140 km. It was cold and wet, in Belgium they say the weather is supposed to be this bad during the Ronde van Vlaanderen, it is tradition.
