What is the best way to reach Roeselare?
The arrival area is within walking distance of the train station, so taking the train is a good idea.
By car, follow the direction with the riders. Keep in mind that the arrival zone (Kaaistraat) is completely closed to all traffic.
Attention: there is also Carnival on Sunday, March 3 in the city. The carnival procession will leave after the arrival of our race, but it is recommended to come extra early to our Rodenbach city. It is best to enter from the Beveren, Ardooie area, that way you can avoid the city center.
Where is the riders' park at the finish?
The park is also at the head of the Vaart, the Trakelweg, which is actually an extension of the finish zone.
Stick to the (traffic) rules and the instructions of our security services, thank you for making it a nice and safe race together!
Is the race on TV?
Yes: Sporza and Eurosport will broadcast live. Attention: the arrival is scheduled between 2.30 p.m. and 3 p.m., so be on time and best to go to the bakery in the morning for some cakes, don't hesitate to enjoy our local beers.
