Primus Classic Impanis-Van Petegem (HC), Belgium

Winners, podium, distance, average speed.

The Primus Classic Impanis-Van Petegem has had a complicated history.

It is a single-day race run in the Flemish Brabant area of Belgium, generally in September. Originally, in 1982, the event was organized in homage to the great Belgian racer Raymond Impanis and was run through 1994.

In 2005 it was revived as a race for juniors then in 2006 for Elite riders without contracts. In 2011 it became a full-on professional race with a UCI ranking of 1.2 and to give the race a bit more life, the race title also included Flemish champion Peter van Petegem.

In 2013 the name was again changed, this time to Primus Classic Impanis-Van Petegem. The race is now sponsored by the Primus brewery, located in the race's finshing city of Haacht. The finish line is at the brewery's gates.

Since 2012 the UCI has ranked it 1.1 made made it part of the Europe Tour. In 2015 the race was upgraded to "HC".
