In 2025, the Flanders Classics spring classics campaign will look a little different compared to its traditional format. Both Ronde van Limburg and De Brabantse Pijl get new dates heading into the new season. With the Ronde van Limburg, an extra race is being added to the Flemish spring calendar. The race will take place on Wednesday April 16th, between Paris-Roubaix and Amstel Gold Race. With this change every Flemish province will host a spring classic from 2025 on. Additionally this is a wonderful piece of legacy of the European Championships in Limburg, which we are still savouring today. De Brabantse Pijl will no longer be raced on Wednesday and moves to Friday April 18th. The goal is to attract more climbers to the field of the spring classic that traditionally marks the transition from the Flemish to the Walloon spring events. By organising De Brabantse Pijl on Friday, that combination with the Amstel Gold Race becomes much more feasible for the riders. Moreover, the trio Ronde van Limburg - De Brabante Pijl - Amstel Gold Race provides a logistically appealing option for the teams, especially considering the Walloon classics that follow. At #FLCS we're very much looking forward to #SetThePace with 8 spring classics!
About us
FLCS - SET THE PACE Setting the pace is what we try to do at Flanders Classics every day. In a rapidly evolving sports world, we want to be the most progressive organizer of cycling events, while respecting cycling’s rich traditions. This is why inclusiveness, sustainability and innovation are among our most important core values. Every day, step by step, we strive to improve our events and make them more attractive for all participants and fans. ROAD Flanders Classics Road is made up of six classics for both Men Elite and Women Elite in the months February, March and April. There are also three ‘Summer Races’ on the yearly road programme, in May, June and August. CX In the winter, our calendar is full of cyclo-cross spectacle. With the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup and the Telenet Superprestige, week after week it is a feast of off-road spectacle in the mud, sand or snow. GRAVEL There are four gravel events in our Flanders Gravel Series. With two one-day events in Limburg and Heuvelland and a gravel weekend in the heart of the Flemish Ardennes and the Durbuy region, each event has its own identity. But what do they all have in common? Atmosphere and fun are high on the agenda. VIRTUAL Our virtual programme is made up of a mix of recreational challenges together with a touch of competition. Virtual cycling at every level is what our winter has to offer. EVENTS Want to explore well-known and lesser-known roads yourself? You can do so by bike, mountain bike or on foot. You can do it alone, in a peloton or with the whole family. It can be for relaxation or for a good cause. Our wide range of events has something for everyone.
