De Brabantse Pijl Cyclo
Around Overijse, a challenging ride full of short, steep climbs and treacherous cobbled sections awaits you. On Saturday 18 April, one day after the pros, you can ride De Brabantse Pijl course yourself.
In 2025, Remco Evenepoel in the men’s race and Elisa Longo Borghini in the women’s race showed how tough and selective this region can be. Now it’s your turn to tackle the same roads.
The perfect end to the Flemish spring and an ideal transition to the Ardennes classics, with strenuous efforts and beautiful panoramas as your reward!

You start in Overijse for a ride of 75, 110 or 140 kilometres through the picturesque Druivenstreek and Zenne Valley. Along the way, you will be treated to beautiful landscapes, but also to challenging sections such as the Deloitte hill (Smeysberg) and the dreaded Moskesstraat. For a moment, you will feel like a professional cyclist on these iconic stretches. Will you follow in the footsteps of De Brabantse Pijl winners Elisa Longo Borghini and Remco Evenepoel?

Recycling action
In Belgium, three million cell phones lie forgotten in a drawer. And yet 90% of the materials in cell phones can be recycled (copper, cobalt, silver, gold, etc.). In 2024, Proximus wants to collect no fewer than 140,000 devices and recycle them thanks to the collaboration with Brainscape. Together we prevent new extraction of raw materials in developing countries.
A warm call to all cycling fans to put their greenest foot forward and participate in the recycling action! This is possible at all Proximus Cycling Challenges mentioned in the calendar and at 6 rides of the Teamleader CRM Classics Tour. Your recycling participation will be rewarded. How? Find out via the button below.
Good cause: vzw Stop Darmkanker
The not-for-profit organisation vzw Stop Darmkanker (Stop Bowel Cancer) is a young, dynamic and independent NGO whose motto is: sharing knowledge can save lives.
vzw Stop Darmkanker wants to convince everyone that early detection of polyps and bowel cancer will drastically reduce the number of deaths from bowel cancer. Bowel cancer is a silent killer.
Every year more than 8,500 Belgians are diagnosed with bowel cancer. Every day 9 people die of bowel cancer. Bowel cancer is the second most commonly occurring cancer in women and the third most commonly occurring in men.- If bowel cancer is detected at an early stage, there is over a 90% chance of recovery. Knowledge about bowel cancer is still not adequate. Extra resources are needed to fight the disease.
Your contribution can also be life-saving. When you register, you have the chance to donate 5, 10 or 15 € to vzw Stop Darmkanker.
