Profiles & Route ZLM Tour 2023

Profiles. From the 7th to the 11th of June takes place the ZLM Tour, whilst the World Tour is packed at this time of year, opportunities will come elsewhere in a race that is sprinter friendly.

The five-day stage-race is ideal for the sprinters, featuring four pan-flat stages where the sprinters will be able to prepare for the Tour de France, or have this as a specific goal since the field will be so strong. To spice up the GC fight there is a small prologue at the start of the race.

The initial day of the ZLM Tour will be a prologue and will create important differences for the overall classification. Heinkenszand will host this exciting day of racing.

In Zeeland the peloton will face stage 1, in pan-flat and windy terrain. 190 meters of climbing in 202 kilometers, the finale into 's-Heerenhoek will see the first bunch sprint of the race.

Stage 2 will not be by the coast, could be a more calm day in the peloton. The finale will be in Buchten whilst the final kilometers will take place in a small 8-kilometer circuit.

Just over 200 meters of climbing on this day, stage 3 of the ZLM Tour will feature a small cobbled section which will be the most noteworthy moment of the day. Another sprint is expected in Roosendaal.

The ZLM Tour will end in Oosterhout, in what is a smaller day on the bike, and will see another small circuit leading the riders into the end of the race.
