And they are in Gent already wow
This is truly surprising since Gent appears on the map of Belgium to be about 55 miles away, including taking the superhighway in a semicircle south around Antwerp. It should have taken longer based on my guess of the lead Ernie/Cindy and Jeremy/Sandy had on the other teams arrival to Lommel.
Perhaps it's just me (I've never been to Belgium), but I've always seen it spelled Ghent, not Gent. I would have been a bit confused to see Gent and been looking for a small town rather than a large city.
plaidmoon,
I'm with you, as the English name of that city has always been Ghent and that's the way I know it. However, just like the cities in India have changed names in recent years, so have some in Belgium. Here is a line on the Internet from Tourism Belgique:

Note that Gand and Gent are Flemish names for Ghent. Gent is the capital of the East Flanders province and squarely in the Flemish part of Belgium.
