The 2007 Ronde van Vlaanderen (English: Tour of Flanders) cycle race will be the 91st edition of this monumental classic and will take place on April 8. Two-time winner and returning champion Tom Boonen will try and become only the second man ever to win the De Ronde three times in a row. Other cyclists who will probably target this race are Leif Hoste of Predictor-Lotto, George Hincapie of Discovery Channel or Andreas Klier of T-Mobile. The 2007 edition is four kilometres shorter than the previous one.
