On the 19th of March the Belgian classics restart, now with the Nokere Koerse. This is a race with a lot of history and one that serves well as preparation for the monuments; with it's many cobbled sectors and small hills making explosive racing always a certainty. We take a look at it's profile.
The race is one fit for the classics specialists. There will be 100 kilometers of racing on rolling roads with several small ascents and six cobbled sectors before entering the final circuit, which consists of three laps around Nokere.
This circuit features no less than five cobbled sectors and a few small ascents. They are all in close proximity with each other, and also in close proximity to the finish - the last one comes with only 3 kilometers to go. Even if the differences aren't made there, the finale in Nokere is uphill and is a fitting finish to a sharp race.

- But it wouldn't be a terrible idea IF you were only allowed to put in a rider from development team for the last stage of the stage race. Extra experience for them, real racing, pro peloton and very unlikely they will make any actual differencevappaxbipmv16-03-2025
- You don't have domestique, Tom. It's a problem. Without Del Toro, for sure Ayuso would not be in front of you.

- Really happy for Matteo, especially despite not having much team support over the last couple of days. He's strong and in great form. He'll be a strong teammate for Jonas in the Tour. Also happy for Magnus—he's had a tough two years, and this is a well-earned reward for his dedication. Ineos have really come out fighting this year and I'm really liking this from them.Pedalmasher16-03-2025
