Omloop Het Nieuwsblad Information
In 2023 Omloop het Nieuwsblad Elite will be the first WorldTour race on European soil, taking place February 25 from Ghent to Ninove. There is a new finish line for the opening spring Classic this year in Nivone, on the Elisabethlaan and no longer on the Onderwijslaan, providing a wider and slightly uphill conclusion to the 207.3km race.
Read the full Omloop Het Nieuwsblad route details.
Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) made his winning attack 13km out from the finish line to take an incredible solo victory at last year's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. He made his move just prior to the final climb, the Bosberg, and then crested that climb with a lead of about 10 seconds.
He held his solo lead to the finish in Ninove. Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain-Victorious) won the sprint for second place from a group of about 20 riders, with Greg Van Avermaet (AG2R Citröen) finishing behind in third.
