Race description AI translated from Spanish, might contain errors
The 66th edition of La Flèche Brabançonne marks the transition between the Flemish classics and the Ardennes. The race departs from Beersel for the first time, following Flanders Classics' agreement with the municipality until 2029, and heads towards Lennik before returning via Beersel to Overijse, where the finale unfolds.
The peloton tackles three laps of the 20-kilometre finishing circuit, with the sequence of climbs comprising the Hertstraat (700 metres, 5%, pavé), Moskesstraat (500 metres, 9.2%, pavé), Holstheide (1 kilometre, 5.4%) and the famous Overijse S-bend (1.3 kilometres, 3.9%). 21 ascents in total over 162.5 kilometres, favouring punchy riders capable of handling the repeated accelerations through to the slightly uphill finishing straight.
