Flanders Legacy Gravel

On Sunday, October 19, 2025, it’s time for the very first edition of Flanders Legacy Gravel, the newest event within the Bolero Gravel Series and also the grand finale of this series. What’s more, Flanders Legacy Gravel is an official qualifying race for the 2026 UCI Gravel World Championships.
