21.08.2025 | BLANKENBERGE – ARDOOIE | STAGE 2

Program

Anyone who sees the stage from Blankenberge to Ardooie in the race schedule may remember last year’s Renewi Tour. That was the third stage, with a second mass sprint victory for Jonathan Milan. This year, too, the team presentation and the start can be enjoyed from the Zeedijk in Blankenberge. In Ardooie itself, the peloton still has to complete four local laps of sixteen kilometres each.

Stage 2 | Blankenberge – Ardooie | 169.4 km

From the Belgian coastal town of Blankenberge, the peloton heads south to Ardooie, which often provides the backdrop for a classic bunch sprint. Last year, the stage from Blankenberge to Ardooie was also part of the Renewi Tour, when Jonathan Milan claimed his second stage victory. The stage in this year’s edition is again predominantly flat, and a second bunch sprint in a row is on the cards. Or will we see someone surprise the sprinters in the second stage?

Blankenberge is buzzing! Families and teenagers enjoy a fantastic holiday here with the beach, pier, marina, lively seafront, great restaurants and numerous indoor and outdoor activities. Are you a fan of the Belle Époque? Stroll past façades with loggias and tiles and visit the Belle Époque Centre. Add to that the charm of the town and the sea, and you know: Blankenberge is always a good idea!

Ardooie, a lively place where sport and entrepreneurship come together, is proud to be the setting for this wonderful cycling event, now in its 17^th year! As a small municipality, we are delighted that this finish appeals to a wide audience. Supporters, sports enthusiasts and interested visitors will get to know Ardooie in a different way.
