Flanders Classics, which organises the biggest races of the cobbled Classics season, has partnered with the Tour de Suisse organisers Cycling Unlimited. Flanders Classics CEO Tomas Van De Spiegel spoke to CyclingPro about the deal a bit more.

"We didn't have a stage race in our portfolio. We represent big races but they're all one-day races. Now we can add a 10-day race to our portfolio and the same goes for Cycling Unlimited."

"This new partnership embodies a vision of continuous growth," he said. "Cycling Unlimited's aim is to propel the cycling community forward in our key markets, embarking on a journey that celebrates the unity of our shared goals."
