The first race of the opening weekend of the Belgian Spring Classics comes with the 207.3-kilometre long Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. For 2023, t🌃he race begins in Gent and ends in Ninove, with riders facing 12 steep ꦜclimbs and nine cobbled sections.

In the fi🔜rst hour of racing, riders cross the cobbles of the Haaghoek at kilometre 36.2 closely followed by the first 'beꩵrg', the Leberg after 39.2km. But after those two difficulties, there is a 54km stretch of the route cobbles and berg-free.

The Lange Munte section of cobbles returns at kilometre 93.2 while 🔴Molenberg also makes a comeback at kilometre 166.1 after being omitted last year because of roadꦅ works.

The crunch time comes at kilometre 191.6 when the race hits the Muur-Kapelmuur - an iconic climb previไously usཧed in the Tour of Flanders - then crests the Bosberg with 11km to go.
