The word 'Flandrien' was originally a swear word for the Flemish seasonal workers in Wallonia and Northern France: rough guys, perseverers, not afraid of anything.
Later, the word took on a completely different color in the cycling world and was included in the Dikke Van Dale:
"a cyclist who, in addition to great physical strength, is characterized by the ability to maintain his fighting spirit in unfavorable (weather) conditions, and is therefore extremely suitable for riding the Flemish spring classics."
