The 2012 Tour of Flanders was the 96th edition of the Tour of Flanders single-day "Monument" cycling race. It was held on 1 April 2012 over a distance of 256.9 kilometres (159.6 miles) – between Bruges and Oudenaarde[1] – and was the eighth race of the 2012 UCI World Tour season.
In a three-man sprint finish, the race was won by Omega Pharma–Quick-Step Belgian Tom Boonen,[2] who in the process, became the fifth different rider to win the race three times,[3] and took the lead of the overall World Tour standings.[4] Boonen finished ahead of Farnese Vini–Selle Italia's Filippo Pozzato and 2007 winner Alessandro Ballan of BMC Racing Team, who completed the podium.[5]
