Omloop Nieuwsblad

Omloop Nieuwsblad is the prestigious opening event of the Belgian cycling season and the first UCI WorldTour race on European soil. Characterized by its punishing cobblestones and steep "hellingen" in the Flemish Ardennes, the race famously features the Muur van Geraardsbergen and Bosberg duo in its finale. It serves as the definitive curtain-raiser for the Spring Classics, testing riders' early-season form on iconic roads that mirror the Tour of Flanders.
