The eighth and penultimate round of the 2026 women’s Lotto Cycling Cup, the Belgian Cup, takes the modest European peloton to Zottegem.
The riders complete five laps of a 26.3-kilometre circuit featuring the Lippenhovestraat sector, 1,200 metres long and a regular feature of the Tour of Flanders, plus three climbs: Waesberg (600 metres at 4.6%), Klemhoutstraat (2 km with gradients of up to 9.5%) and De Vlamme (400 metres at 5.7%).
In theory, this should be more animated than some of the series’ other flat races, but a sprint remains the most likely scenario.
