For a long time, the Molenberg was the first decisive point in the Tour of Flanders. Indeed, the peloton's attack on the Molenberg depended greatly on the poor condition of the cobblestones and the narrow sections. Two-time winner Peter Van Petegem always said: "If you're not among the top ten to reach the Molenberg, it takes at least half an hour to get back into the lead." Tom Boonen also felt at home on the Molenberg, and Fabian Cancellara broke away from the pack in 2010. On that occasion, Cancellara won the Tour of Flanders.
