Hello and welcome to the women's Brabantse Pijl 2025 in 𝔉it's new slot on the calendar.

There is a list 💞of very big names at this race including the return of Elisa Longo-Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) after her heavy crash in the Tour of Flanders a couple of weeks ago. 

Other big names on the start list today are Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike), Anna van der Bregge﷽n (SD Worx-Protime) and the return of Olympic champion Kristin Faulkner (EF Education-Oatly).

The ri🔴ders are all set for the neutraꦡl start in Lennik after sign on...

It is Anna van der Breggen's 35th birthday t💟oday. Can the SD Worx-Protime star get her first victory since her return today and make it a very happy birthday? 

The neutral start is due in 10 minutes. 

The battle of student vs masteꦛr continues this weekend as The Ardennes Classics begin with the Amstel Gold Race...

The amazing rapid recovery that Elisa Longo-Borghini has had since her concussion at the Tour𓆉 of Flanders is great news for her and for the ra🏅ce today...

Neutral start

No early moves going away as the riders are 5km from theꦰ first climb, the Beerse✱lberg.

The pace is moderate in the p🌃eloton but there have been no attacks. 

Onto the Beerselberg and🗹 it is Cofidis leading the peloton. T𒁃hey are likely working for young French rider Julie Bego. 

One non-starter today 

Abandon

Onto the next climb, ꦰthe Bruineput. All the climbs today are very short and sharp with this one being just over a kilometre long with an average of 6.4% but it♈ kicks up to over 10% at the last few metres. 

The next climb is the very gentle but superbly named Eigenbra꧂kelsesteenweg.

100km to go

The average speed so far after 40 m🍒inutes﷽ of racing is 40kph. The riders are heading to the Chemin dit le Bois climb. Another gentle ascent at 3.5% average over the 1.5km.

AG 𒉰Insurance-Soudal, SD Worx-Protime, Visma-Lease a Bike and EF Education-Oatly leading the bunch now. 

The nextꦯ climb is the kilometre long Holsheide climb which has an average of 4.9% but it has a steep kicker right at the start.
