# Memorial Fred De Bruyne

The Memorial Fred De Bruyne is a Belgian cycling race that was organized for the first time in 1951.
The course is situated in the region of East-Flanders, with Berlare as both start and finish place.
The competition's roll of honor includes the successes of Rik Van Looy, Walter Godefroot and Greg Van Avermaet. The record of victories, however, belongs to Oliver Naesen.
For years, the race was named Grote Prijs Berlare. Since 2009, the race has been named after former cyclist and cycling reporter Fred De Bruyne, who was born in Berlare and won the race three times.
