Belgium • One-day Classic
A relentless surge through the rolling hills of the Pajottenland, where narrow, wind-swept lanes and punchy Flemish ascents create a theater of pure attrition. It is a race that demands tactical cunning and raw power, forcing the peloton to fracture under the weight of the Belgian countryside's unforgiving rhythm and the steep gradients of the final circuits.

The race is defined by the technical and rolling terrain of the Pajottenland, featuring multiple ascents of the Bergstraat. It is characterized by narrow, twisting farm roads, exposed sectors prone to crosswinds, and a grueling finishing circuit in Oetingen that favors puncheurs and powerful sprinters who can survive a race of elimination.
