Exciting developments are underway in the corporate cycling community as Flanders Classics, the esteemed organizer of iconic races such as the Tour of Flanders and Gent-Wevelgem, is set to elevate the Corporate Cycling Challenge experience in 2025 by bringing its expertise and passion for cycling to the event. This collaboration aims to enhance the experience for companies and their employees participating in this unique cycling event.
What is the Corporate Cycling Challenge?
The Corporate Cycling Challenge provides businesses with an opportunity to engage in a competitive and team-focused sporting event that emphasizes teamwork, health, and well-being. The challenge consists of three main disciplines:
-
Team Time Trial: An 8 km race where teams of 3 to 5 riders work together, with the time of the third rider counting as the official team time.
-
Team Sprint: A 1 km sprint from a standstill, testing power and strategy, with the first rider’s time being recorded.
-
Criterium: A 45 km race on a closed circuit, where the positions of the first three team members determine the team’s ranking.
These challenges encourage corporate teams to push their limits while fostering a strong sense of camaraderie and shared achievement.
Flanders Classics Joins the Initiative
With Flanders Classics coming on board, the Corporate Cycling Challenge is set to reach new heights. Tomas Van Den Spiegel, CEO of Flanders Classics, stated, “Cycling brings people together in a unique way. It connects colleagues, companies, and partners, creating a platform where sport, sustainability, and collaboration go hand in hand.” This partnership reinforces the shared commitment to promoting cycling and strengthening the corporate sports community.
