Profile & Route Brussels Cycling Classic 2024

The Brussels Cycling Classic is scheduled for June 2nd this year and is among the prestigious Belgian classics held during this period. It provides a platform for classics specialists to excel. Let's explore its profile.

The race is long with 214.5 kilometers on the menu, and it is one that is hard to predict. Most of the race is rather flat, and understandibly many of the sprinters are amongst the big favourites - some of them also having a lot of experience in the classics.

However they puncheurs and classics experts have opportunities to blow the race to bits. The riders climb the Muur de Geraardsbergen (1.1Km; 7%), Bosberg (1Km; 5.4%) and the Congoberg (600 meters; 5.6%), all cobbled, in quick succession on two occasions. The final ascent of these finishes with 47 kilometers to go. There is a short cobbled sector and a berg already inside the final 15 kilometers where more attacks may come; it certainly won't be an easy day to control.
