Is the Mountainbike of Flanders tour a competition?

Do I need a permit to participate?
You can participate with or without a permit.

Do I have to register in advance?
No, but it does offer you a cheaper rate and extra benefits.

Will I meet riders from the race?
Hardly, if at all. The tour course is mainly on different roads than the competition course of the day. Do not hesitate to hang around at the finish to cheer on the competition riders!

Can I participate with an e-bike, gravel or cross bike?
You can, although the course is primarily designed for traditional mountain bikes.

I registered in advance but would like to change the distance. Is this possible?
Yes, this is possible. A participation ticket for the tour is valid for all tour distances. If you change your distance, you do not have to report this to us.
