On the
17th of September 2025, the peloton in Belgium will tackle one of its most iconic late-season classics. It is the day of the
GP de Wallonie, the famous one-day race which finishes atop the Citadelle de Namur. Find the
startlist for the race right here!
Last year’s edition of the GP de Wallonie produced a thrilling finale, with Roger Adrià (Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe) taking a gruelling victory ahead of fellow Spaniard Alex Aranburu. The race saw an aggressive day of racing, with a strong early breakaway and a dangerous counter-attack featuring the likes of Arnaud De Lie,
Biniam Girmay, Quinten Hermans and Jake Stewart, though the peloton quickly closed things down. In the closing kilometres, Georg Zimmermann and Mads Würtz Schmidt looked set to snatch the win as they built a sizeable gap, but Zimmermann was dramatically reeled in within the final kilometre. That set up a reduced sprint on the climb to the Citadel of Namur, where Adrià had the strength to edge Aranburu in a nail-biting photo finish.
On the final startlist for 2025 are notable riders such as: Victor Lafay, Paul Lapeira, Oliver Naesen, Louis Barre, Biniam Girmay, Laurenz Rex, Samuele Zoccarato, Alberto Bruttomesso, Matevz Govekar, Alexey Lutsenko, Timo Kielich, Tom Portsmouth, Michal Kwiatkowski, Josh Tarling, Davide Ballerini, Clement Champoussin, Roger Adria, Danny van Poppel, Arnaud De Lie, Florian Vermeersch, Tim Wellens, Dylan Teuns, Fernando Gaviria, Alberto Dainese and Matteo Trentin among others.
