The secret behind Sven and Thibau Nys? The hills of the Hageland. Sven himself mapped out a 101-km loop through the region where he—and now Thibau—do their long training rides. You’ll ride through the most beautiful landscapes of the Hageland, pass through charming villages, and discover the Hageland vineyards. Need a breather after yet another calf-burner? There are plenty of stops along the way, such as the statue and street art of Eddy Merckx at his birthplace, the Vlooyberg Tower, and the many fruit orchards and vineyards.
