The Omloop van de Westhoek is a one-day road cycling race held annually near Ichtegem, West Flanders, Belgium since 1955.[1] After the death of cyclist Stive Vermaut in 2004, the official name of the race was changed to Omloop van de Westhoek-Memorial Stive Vermaut. A women's edition was held in 2018 as a UCI category 1.2 event and in 2021 as a 1.1 rated event.[2] The men's race has not been held since 2017, and the women's has not been held since 2021.[3]
