WEST BRABANT AT ITS MOST BEAUTIFUL!<\/p><\/h2><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Due to great success, it is back on the agenda this year too. Mathieu van de Poel's training grounds will be the setting for our second Grenspalenklassieker of 2025! The Brabantse Wal is known to many as the cycling Mecca of the West. Not only because of the many big names from the past and present, but also because of the great beauty and diversity of the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

THE ROUTE<\/span><\/h3><\/div>

Route planner and navigation app Komoot is the official route partner of our Boundary Poles Classic. In Komoot, you can already find the locations, photos and stories of the most special border posts. We present a few days before the tour the gravel and road routes in Komoot where you can immediately download or synchronise them for use on your phone or navigation computer. You will also see per kilometre which road surface you are cycling on: asphalt, bike path, paved, unpaved, so you know what you are going to encounter. Click on the map below and find out more.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
