Brabantse Pijl 2025 participants | Powless and Girmay added to lineup, alongside many other big names
Cycling
The cobbled classics are now behind us, which means it’s time to shift our focus to the hillier races. That series kicks off this Friday with the Brabantse Pijl, which, despite not being a WorldTour event, has managed to attract an impressive field. Among those racing in Flemish Brabant are Remco Evenepoel and Wout van Aert. IDLProCycling.com lists the rest of the participants.
Evenepoel will make his season debut in the race. “I feel good and motivated for the Brabantse Pijl,” he said in his preview. “But I’m not going there with any specific ambitions. The main goal is to get back into race rhythm after a long break.”
At Visma | Lease a Bike, Van Aert and Tiesj Benoot are on the start list, while Tom Pidcock will lead the team for Q36.5. In addition, the entry list, updated three days before the race, includes strong riders such as Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost) and Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty). UAE Team Emirates-XRG is also fielding a strong lineup, featuring Jan Christen, Florian Vermeersch, Tim Wellens, and Jhonatan Narváez.
Confirmed selections and ambitions for Brabantse Pijl 2025
- Soudal Quick-Step (Remco Evenepoel and Ethan Hayter)
- Equipo Kern Pharma (Kiko Galván and Pau Miquel)

For the women’s race, it would normally be time for another clash between Demi Vollering of FDJ-Suez and SD Worx-Protime rider Anna van der Breggen. However, there are currently two different start lists circulating. One that includes Vollering and one that doesn’t. So it’s a matter of waiting for an official update from FDJ-Suez.

- Such negative comments that are truly inappropriate and actually ridiculous. He sounds like an old man, bitter that he can't race anymore. Why can't he just be gracious? Or just shut up. Instead of howling for attention, in such a rude manner. Must be Dementia creeping in. We are all living in the Now. Records are there, and some are being broken, some are unapproachable. If he doesn't like it, and it makes him sick, maybe he ought start watching some other sport. Don't want the old mans health to be upset.

- I am not sure if it is the hardest to win. In Flanders and Roubaix well before the finish the Peleton will be decimated and the race will normally be won by the best rider of the day or maybe 2nd or 3rd in case of a mechanical or unlucky break especially in case of Roubaix. In San Remo just before the finish there will still be several riders in contention and they are hard to ditch. For the best riders it is a race hard to win since it is not so selective. But if you are not a top 5 rider but still a top 10 rider this race is your best change to win. You will see more Milan San remo Winners with only 1 monument win than any other monumentsJoostmehrtens19-03-2025
- "fap fap fap oh Lance oh oh OHHHHHHH" again. Does he pay you to dredge up people with nice things to say about him? He was an giant a$$hole to people. It is a fact. Whatever his contrition about the doping, he is unapologetic about being a giant a$$hole to people. (Why yes, I do only login to complain. *I* am however only a giant a$$hole to people who laud giant a$$holes.)ericjensenridesbikes25-02-2025
- Remco is still very young. And injuries can absolutely keep you from overdoing it and getting worse. The recent Remco accident didn't keep him from being able to ride a recumbent inside. Wout's knee is a different story thoughVeganpotter23-01-2025
- Van der Poel style is winning by a half a lap and leading the race from the end of the second lap.
