Wout Van Aert’s 2025 season schedule promises an exciting year for the Belgian superstar, packed with high-profile races that play to his strengths as one of the most versatile cyclists in the peloton. While the details of his full calendar remain under wraps, the key events that have surfaced suggest that Van Aert is gearing up for a monumental campaign.
The season kicks off with Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, a race that has long been a proving ground for Classics riders. Known for its challenging cobbled climbs and unpredictable weather, Omloop is the perfect stage for Van Aert to lay down an early marker. Following Omloop, he will line up for Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, a race often tailored to sprinters but not without opportunities for strong all-rounders to capitalize on breakaway tactics.
The spring campaign continues with two of cycling’s most iconic Monuments: the Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris-Roubaix. Van Aert, who has come agonizingly close to victories in both, will undoubtedly aim to add these prestigious titles to his palmarès. His mix of power, endurance, and tactical acumen makes him a perennial favorite in these brutal one-day races.
The leaked schedule also confirms Van Aert’s participation in both the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France, showcasing his ambition to shine in Grand Tours. The Giro offers a mix of challenging stages where Van Aert could hunt for stage wins, particularly in time trials and hilly profiles. Meanwhile, his return to the Tour will likely see him reprise his role as a key figure in Jumbo-Visma’s plans, balancing his own stage-winning aspirations with team duties.
Though the races between Kuurne and the Ronde remain uncertain, it’s safe to assume Van Aert will include mid-season Classics like E3 Saxo Bank Classic or Gent-Wevelgem to fine-tune his form.
With a schedule blending Classics and Grand Tours, Van Aert’s 2025 campaign is poised to captivate fans and further cement his status as one of cycling’s all-time greats.
