Discover the teams for Omloop het Nieuwsblad 2023

26 January 2023

Saturday 25 February has the 78th edition of the Omloop het Nieuwsblad on the programme. On the Elisabethlaan in Ninove, we will discover the successors to Annemiek van Vleuten and Wout van Aert.

As from 2023, the opening classic will finish on the Elisabethlaan

3 December 2022

Ninove and Omloop het Nieuwsblad extend their collaboration for three years. Thus, until 2025 at least, the finish of the opening classic will be in Ninove. However, as from 2023, the finish line will move from the Onderwijslaan to the Elisabethlaan. The Muur van Geraardsbergen and Bosberg finale is retained.

NINOVE TO BE THE FINISH OF THE OMLOOP HET NIEUWSBLAD UNTIL 2025

22 June 2022

In 2018, the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad was contested between Ghent and Ninove for the first time. Since then, the finale with the Muur-Bosberg duo has become an integral part of the opening classic. Flanders Classics and the city of Ninove are therefore delighted to announce that, for the coming three years, the finish for this race will continue to be in Ninove.

Flanders classics

When you think Flanders Classics, you think the traditional spring classics in Flanders. Since 2010, this Belgian company has organised the prestigious and well-known Tour of Flanders as well as Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, the opening race of the spring season. Flanders Classics is also involved in the organisation of four other renowned Flemish springtime races: Dwars door Vlaanderen, Gent-Wevelgem, Scheldeprijs and De Brabantse Pijl.

The mission of Flanders Classics is to secure the position of the Flemish spring classic on the international cycling calendar and to increase the prestige of Flemish cycling in Belgium and abroad. Through innovating year after year, Flanders Classics wants to make its mark on both men’s and women’s cycling, from elite to youth.

Flanders Classics now organises six WorldTour races, including Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Gent-Wevelgem, Dwars door Vlaanderen and the Tour of Flanders for Elite Men, and Gent-Wevelgem and ‘De Ronde’ for Elite Women.

Besides road racing, cyclo-cross has a rich history in Flanders as well. Since 2018, Flanders Classics brings the history of both disciplines together. From now on, the Superprestige cyclo-cross sails under the same flag as the Tour of Flanders. From the 2020-2021 season onwards, Flanders Classics is also responsible for the organisation of the World Cup cyclo-cross. This way, cyclo-cross and the road season seamlessly merge into one another.

With the Proximus Cycling eSeries Flanders Classics aims to create a challenging virtual experience all year round.
