http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2001/aug01/koppenberg/bottom3.shtml Snipped from article: The restoration of the Koppenberg climb has already begun, in anticipation of its use in the Ronde van Vlaanderen 2002. It was used in the race between 1976 and 1987, but was removed after the Jesper Skibby incident...

I've got a picture of that accident in one of those Cycle Sport magazines I'm reviewing. Shows the car just as it runs over the wheels of Skibby's bike, just missing his foot. I didn't know that it was used this year in a race and I wonder what "restoration" means in this context. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
