The Omloop der Vlaamse gewesten was a men's cycling race of which the original format was organized for the last time in 1972.[1] The race was run in variating Flemish provinces or Brussels.[2]

The competition's roll of honor includes the successes of Rik Van Steenbergen, Briek Schotte and Rik Van Looy.[3]

In overlapping years and afterwards, races with the same name were also organized for amateur[4][5] and junior cyclists.[6] The final editions were held in Wuustwezel, Antwerp.[7]
