Classic Gent-Wevelgem will once again ride over the Kemmelberg in 2008, the scene of multiple serious mass crashesin 2007. According to Sportwereld, race organisers met recently with municipal authorities and agreed to keep the cobbled climb in the race, even if it is considered by many as being the most dangerous descent throughout Belgium. The 70th edition of the event will be held on April 9, 2008. This year's racewas won by T-Mobile's Marcus Burghardt.
