How to Watch Kuurne - Brussel - Kuurne in Canada

How to Watch Kuurne – Brussels – Kuurne in CanadaA day after a dramatic Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, riders will line up for Kuurne – Brussels- Kuurne. There is no women’s race, but the men will ride from Kortrijk to Kuurne for a total of 196.9km. There is also a junior men’s race on Sunday.

The majority of riders who raced on Saturday will be there for KBK, including Visma – Lease a Bike’s Wout van Aert will be hungry for redemption after a disappointing Omloop. The Belgian won the race in 2024. Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne has long been part of the opening weekend for the Classics. Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and KBK make for a solid weekend of racing for the pros. It is seen as the opening weekend for Classics season.

Other favourites for the 76th edition of the race include Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck), and Matteo Jorgenson (Visma | Lease a Bike).  Canadians racing will be Guillaume Boivin and Riley Pickrell from Israel – Premier Tech, along with Tom Pidcock’s new teammate, Nickolas Zukowsky. Pidcock, however, will not be racing.

You can catch Sunday’s action at 9:30 a.m. EST on Flobikes.com.

If you have a FloBikes account, be sure to also catch the final stage of O Gran Camiño. Israel – Premier Tech’s Derek Gee currently leads the race. He won the TT and had a great stage on Saturday, dominating the climbs. Sunday is the last day of racing, another hily day in the saddle. If he holds off, this would be his first pro stage race win.
