The BXL TOUR launches its big Instagram contest

The BXL TOUR 2025 has a big surprise in store with a brand new partner contest. Try your luck, from April 22 to May 4, on our Instagram account and win incredible prizes. Whether you’re a passionate cyclist or simply a BXL TOUR fan, this is the perfect opportunity to walk away with exclusive gifts.

Don’t miss out on our social media contest: unique prizes to win, a good dose of fun, and the chance to join the BXL TOUR community.

All kinds of prizes

You have the chance to win cycling accessories, gourmet products, or even unique experiences! All this thanks to the brands that support the BXL TOUR and share your passion for cycling.

Instagram contest open until May 4

You could win a unisex watch by Tissot, a set of special beers with two glasses offered by Lutgarde, or an original snackbag and multifunctional strap by C.POUKI. The BXL TOUR will also spoil you with a collector’s goodie bag filled with stickers, a bike protector, a cap, and a jersey in the race’s colors. There’s also an exclusive jersey designed by Emmentaler and a duo ticket to participate in the 2025 edition of the BXL TOUR.

And that’s not all! Two VIP tickets to the Baloise Belgium Tour, a delicious breakfast for two from Woodpecker, and a one-year bike parking subscription from Interparking are also up for grabs. A great way to experience the BXL TOUR spirit — even off the course!






The contest is open until May 4 (included).

Trophies
				

				

				

				

									
For the third consecutive year, the trophies of the BXL TOUR are made from the wood of the splendid Christmas tree of the Grand Place.
In a permanent concern for sustainability, this wood is reused to produce and give life to different objects such as boards of swings, furniture for the City’s events or the Bxl Tour trophies!
The base of the trophy is an A4 board made of fir wood on which a visual created by the Brussels collective Louves (www.louves.be) is laser printed in color.
Each trophy includes the category for which the participant wins the prize and is signed by the godfather of the race, our dear Eddy Merckx!
								

				

					

				

				

				

			

					

				

				

					
INTERSPORT GROUP CHALLENGE 
				

				

				

				

									
To make the race even more attractive, starting this year there is the INTERSPORT GROUP CHALLENGE! Register as a team and compete together for the team prize! The ranking is calculated based on the time of the 5 fastest riders of your team.
To make the race even more exciting, there’sl also the “BALOISE SPRINT”, a 1500m sprint segment on the Avenue du Parc Royal, between the Parvis Notre Dame and the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken.
In addition to these two prizes, all cyclists in the Master or Cyclo category will be automatically timed individually for the general classification.
