Baloise Belgium Tour 2023: Het complete parcours

De 1e etappe voert over vlakke tot glooiende wegen van Scherpenheuvel/Zichem naar Scherpenheuvel/Zichem. Er liggen een paar korte, wat steilere hellingen in het parcours, maar dat is ver van de streep.

De 2e etappe is de vlakste race van de vijfdaagse koers. Dus het kan bijna niet anders of het wordt sprinten in Knokke-Heist. Hoewel, in 2019 verraste vroege vluchter Jan-Willem van Schip de sprinters op De Wandelaar, de traditionele aankomst in de badplaats.

De 3e etappe is een vlakke tijdrit van 15,2 kilometer. Lange rechte en vlakke stukken zijn kenmerkend voor het traject ten zuiden van Beveren.

Op de vierde dag serveert de Ronde van België de Koninginnenrit . In de Ardennen verwerken de coureurs 24 hellingen op een parcours met een slordige 3.200 hoogtemeters. De laatste is de Muur van Durby, die vooral in het begin extreem steil is. De top ligt op 600 meter van de streep.

De slotetappe voert over vlakke tot glooiende wegen van het Atomium in Brussel naar het Atomium in Brussel. De route bestaat uit verschillende lussen ten zuiden, westen en noorden van de Belgische hoofdstad

Profiles & Route Baloise Belgium Tour 2023

Profiles . From the 14th to 18th of June the riders take on the Baloise Belgium Tour , a race that is very popular among those preparing for the national championships, Tour de France but also the stage for an internal battle among the vast Belgian peloton.

The five-day stage-race is a classic for Belgium and features stages for all types of riders, as long as they don't wish for long climbs. There should be three stages that are almost certain sprints and to decide the overall classification there will be a 15-kilometer time-trial and an explosive circuit hilly day.

PREVIEW | Baloise Belgium Tour 2023

With just under 1000 meters of climbing, the rolling opening stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour will take the riders through a four-lap circuit in Scherpenheuvel-Zichem where the first yellow jersey will be taken, likely in a bunch sprint.

Stage 2 of the race sees the riders head towards the Atlantic ocean and the pan-flat roads of western Belgium. From Merelbeke to Knokke-Heist, the sprinters will likely have another opportunity in a day that can be dangerous with it's exposure to the wind.

Stage 3 of the race should be the most crucial one for the overall classification, as meaningful gaps can be created in the individual time-trial. Pan-flat, but in 15 kilometers it is possible to take quite a lot of time for such a small race. It may not decide the race, but into the hilly day there will be a clear set of rider who will have the advantage.

Stage 4 is as explosive as it could be. The town of Durbuy hosts the start and finish to this hilly day and the whole stage consists of a circuit around it's rolling hills. 2Km at 6% and 1Km at 6% will are the details of the two main climbs in the circuit that come with around 10 kilometers to go, but the finale itself is tough with the final 900 meters featuring ramps of over 10% towards the line.

The final day of racing sees the riders back into sprinter country, this time in the capital of Belgium and the headquarters of the European Union. Stage 5 of the Baloise Belgium Tour should end in a bunch sprint in the city of Bruxelles.

Mathieu van der Poel wins Baloise Belgium Tour

Fabio Jakobsen triumphs with second stage victory on final day in Brussels

Fabio Jakobsen (Soudal-QuickStep) was the fastest in the final bunch sprint on stage 5 at the Baloise Belgium Tour . The Dutch sprinter captured his second stage win of the five-day race, this time ahead of Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Thibau Nys (Trek-Segafredo) in Brussels.

Jakobsen dedicated his victory to Gino Mäder, with whom he has fond memories from the 2021 Vuelta a España, saying, “This one was for Gino. I thought a lot about him these past couple of days and during today’s stage. I had this picture of us together on the final podium of the Vuelta, both with our distinctive jerseys after a hard race. He will be missed for sure, by everyone, but especially by his family and friends," Jakobsen said.

“I’m happy with the two wins I got this week in Belgium. The preparation went well, and this makes me satisfied. The legs are getting better and better, and the confidence is there, which is important as I get closer to my second half of the season goals.”

Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) wrapped up the five days of racing, winning the overall title. He moved into the purple leader's jersey following the stage 3 time trial and extended his lead after winning the previous day's stage 4. 

Van der Poel sealed the overall title by a margin of 40 seconds over Søren Wærenskjold (Uno-X) and Casper Pedersen (Soudal-QuickStep).

How it unfolded

The final stage 5 at the Baloise Belgium Tour was a 194km race in Brussels. It began with an opening large loop with two intermediate sprints, and then the peloton travelled toward the two 40km closing circuits before the finish line in Brussels.

Baloise Trek Lions did not start the final day of racing after thieves stole their bikes and wheels overnight.

A breakaway of seven riders set off within the first 20km of racing that included Alex Colman (Flanders-Baloise), Stefano Gandin (Corratec-Selle Italia), Andrea Pietrobon (Eolo-Kometa), Kay De Bruyckere (Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal), Lucas Janssen (Beat), Kobe Vanoverschelde (Tarteletto-Isorex), and Thimo Willems (VolkerWessels).

The riders gained over a minute on the field led by Alpecin-Deceuninck and Soudal-QuickStep as Colman rolled through to take the points in the first intermediate sprint in Schepdaal. Colman also won the intermediate sprint in Grimbergen at the end of the first of two final laps.

In the final 20km, Colman, De Bruyckere and Janssen were dropped from the break while Willems, Vanoverschelde, Pietrobon, and Gandin held a slim eight seconds on the peloton.

Back together in the closing kilometres, six riders crashed with 9km to the finish line as the teams with strong sprinters organised their final lead-outs.

Alpecin-Deceuninck were the first to start their lead-out for Philipsen but were soon rivalled by teams Soudal-QuickStep and Lotto Dstny in the last three kilometres. In the end, it was Soudal-QuickStep that delivered Jakobsen to victory – his second of the week and 43rd of his career.
