Course

Lennik once again forms the backdrop for the start of De Brabantse Pijl for women. Via Beersel, with the climbs of the Bruineput and Eigenbrakelsesteenweg among others, the riders will be on their way to Overijse, where a finale in and around the grape municipality awaits them. After a first run through Hertstraat, Holstheide and S-Bocht Overijse, they face no less than three local laps. On each of these local loops, they will have to conquer Hertstraat, Moskesstraat, Holstheide and S-Bocht Overijse. After just over 125 km and no less than 19 hills, we will be able to crown the successor to Elisa Longo Borghini at the finish at the Brusselsesteenweg.
