Male Team 21 Sep
Omloop van het Houtland
196.4 Kilometers
The Movistar Team will be completing its autumn classics schedule in Belgium with the 76th edition of the Circuit of Houtland, taking place in west Flanders, next to Bruges and the coast, over two circuits in Eernegem and Lichtervelde.
The opening three laps, 15km each, will give room to a point-to-point section towards the finish, where the last nine laps, 12.1km each, will take place.
Being a race held during the Worlds and also a quite windy area, a bunch sprint is absolutely not a given in this event: three of the last four editions have come down to small groups’ sprints or even a solo rider winning (Taco van der Hoorn, 2021).
