Starting in March 2026, the Classic Brugge-De Panne races will be replaced by the Ronde van Brugge for both men and women, with races scheduled in Bruges. The move aims to consolidate events for greater visibility while ensuring WorldTour level competition. Organizers from Golazo and KVC Panne Sportief have expressed excitement about the new races, pledging to host them through at least the 2031 season. This transition signifies a shift towards enhancing the experience for elite cyclists.
With the Ronde van Brugge, we are going for a strong a safe project. We are offering the best sprinters in the world the chance in a top race of WorldTour level for the next six years.
We are grateful to De Panne for the years of collaboration. But the Ronde van Brugge is the logical next step. We will continue to organise [in] the WorldTour, but more centrally, in our own city.
