Tour of Flanders

Infront has rejected competition claims raised by French-language Belgian public broadcaster RTBF over the agency’s sale of Flanders Classics rights to commercial network RTL.

Cycling’s Flanders Classics will continue to receive crucial domestic free-to-air broadcast coverage in Belgium in an agreement that will be welcomed by race sponsors.

Infront will pay a strong increase for rights to the Flanders Classics and Amstel Gold cycling races in a long-term global media-rights deal with the race organisers, SportBusiness Media understands.
