Having raised in category for 2023, the Grand Prix Criquielion has gained new notoriety as a Belgian semi-classic, as it provides an opportunity for the riders outside of the World Tour to fight for a prestigious win amidst a very busy period - on the 4th of March.
The race, as most around Belgium during this period, features a significant amount of cobbled sectors. It's a race where sprinters and classics riders of all sorts can succeed as an initial five lap circuit will warm things up, but the final two-lap loop around Lessines will feature two small ascents and a cobbled sector right before the finish at the end of 203 kilometers.
Start Time: 12:35CET.
Finish Time: 17:10CET.
Ath - Lessines, 203 kilometers

- Now we know the real secret🤣😁
- The UCI adheres to some archaic rules but does not consider serious infringements.🙄
- Isn't he on 6 million a year? Someone knows?
- Just a bit dizzy from having to take all those corners.
- That 2nd acceleration during the 1st.. Pheww.. Simply world class.
- Wuyts needs to take his pills. Van Aert was the only one of all 5 favourites that didn't carry out a real attack. Pogacar twice, Pedersen, Bettiol, MvdP..
- Ganna's gold medal win was really something. Bigham is position is very aerodynamic. Bigham was 2.2 s up at 3.25 k mark and Ganna won making up the deficit in 0.75 k.
- Nobody skips the Worlds!!
- He better could have skipped the Worlds. Someone needs to protect him from his own ambition.
- Their tactic was okay. But what tactics take into account the weather and the Mathieu van der Poel phenomenon
