What time should you tune in for the key moments in Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne?

The day after the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, the other Flemish classic is traditionally on the schedule: Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne. In this Sunday race, sprinters are often favorites, but attackers are far from powerless. When do you really have to switch on? We list the key sections.

Compared to previous years, there has been little change to the route of Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, or rather Kortrijk-Brussels-Kuurne. The start is actually in Kortrijk, right next to Kuurne.

The Hainaut trio that we have known for several years now – with Hameau des Papins (1,200 meters, average 6.6%, max 16.2%), Le Bourliquet (1,300 meters, avg. 6.8%, max 15.3%) and Mont Saint-Laurent (1,300 meters, avg. 7.8 %, max 17%) – along with the final section featuring the Hotond, the Côte de Trieu or the Knokteberg, and the Kluisberg – can turn the race upside down.
