Omloop Nieuwsblad Cyclo
Let’s kick it! On Sunday, March 2, 2025, you’ll kick off the Flemish spring season just like the pros during the Omloop het Nieuwsblad Cyclo. Four distances and two starting locations: the choice is yours! If you start from Ninove, you can choose between 60, 80, or 125 kilometers of cycling fun through the Flemish Ardennes. The real diehard flandriens can start their season with a tough ride of no less than 150 kilometres. In that case, you’ll start and finish at the Kuipke in Ghent.
Discover the course
Kick off the season, just like the pros, and ride into the Flanders Classics spring season, like a real flandrien(ne). This year too, we will treat you to cobbled roads à volonté! Classics such as Paddestraat, Kerkgate and Haaghoek cannot be missed, forming a first solid block on your route. Those who do not like cobblestones are guaranteed to fall through here.
Legs warmed up? Good, because the many Flemish hills should not be missing either to get your season off to a good start. Names like Molenberg, Leberg, Berendries and Valkenberg will undoubtedly be music to your ears. As icing on the cake, we dish up the iconic duo Muur van Geraardsbergen – Bosberg. Classics where cycling history was written and which you will undoubtedly remember long after Sunday 2 March.
