Upcoming Renewi Concert Tour in 2025
The Renewi Tour 2025 is set to be an exciting five-day professional cycling race, taking place from August 20 to August 24. The event, in its 20th edition, will commence in Terneuzen, Netherlands, and conclude in the historic city of Leuven, Belgium[1][3].
The total distance covered by the Renewi Tour 2025 is approximately 911.3km, making it a challenging event that requires strong endurance, recovery, and strategic riding[3]. The route will take cyclists through the Dutch province of Zeeland and into Belgium, showcasing the unique landscapes of both countries[5].
The first stage of the Renewi Tour 2025 will be a flat 182.7km contest from Terneuzen to Breskens, followed by a 169.4km race in West Flanders, starting in Blankenberge and finishing in Ardooie[2][3]. Notable stages include the third day's 178.2km race from Aalter in East Flanders, featuring climbs in the Flemish Ardennes - Taaienberg, Bosberg, and Muur van Geraardsbergen[1]. The longest course of the event will be the fourth stage, a flat 196km from Riemst to Bilzen, taking in challenging territory across Limburg[3].
While specific elevation profiles or stage difficulties are not explicitly detailed, the Renewi Tour 2025 is expected to present tactical and physical challenges due to the varied terrain, wind, possible cobbles, and short, sharp climbs that are typical of the Zeeland and Belgian cycling landscape[3][4]. Past editions and news have indicated competitive and possibly technical finishes, with a sprint showdown and crashes being common occurrences[2][3].
For those seeking detailed stage profiles or exact elevation challenges, it is recommended to consult the official Renewi Tour roadbook or cycling race planners closer to the event[4]. The 2025 Renewi Tour will consist only of road stages, with the individual time trial from the last two editions not returning, adding more than 160km to the total distance across the week[3]. The event will conclude in Leuven, the capital of Flemish Brabant, and will continue as the start and finish for the Renewi Tour through 2028[6].
The Renewi Tour has undergone a few name changes over the years, starting as the Tour of Benelux, then the Eneco Tour, and most recently the BinckBank Tour. It was canceled in 2022 but returned in 2023, with Belgian cyclist Tim Wellens securing the overall title in the 2023-2024 editions[7]. The Renewi Tour was first held in 2005[8].
