Belgium • One-day Classic
A high-stakes speedway through the salt-sprayed flats of West Flanders, where the North Sea wind acts as an invisible hand to shred the peloton into pieces. It is a tactical masterclass of positioning and power, culminating in a thunderous, shoulder-to-shoulder charge toward the historic belfry of Bruges.

Known as a 'sprinter’s world championship,' the course is pan-flat but fraught with danger from North Sea crosswinds and technical urban furniture. The modern route features decisive cobblestone sectors on the Brieversweg and a high-speed finish beneath the medieval spires of Bruges.
