Vittoria Becomes New Partner of Track Events at Omnisport Apeldoorn

ZLM Tour Final to Take Place in Waalwijk Next Year

27 November 2025 – Waalwijk will officially become a stage location for the ZLM Tour next year. Libéma Profcycling, organiser of the multi-day race, announced today that both the start and finish of the final stage on Sunday 6 September will take place in Waalwijk. The municipal executive of Waalwijk decided this week to proudly bring the race to the municipality.

A new moment on the cycling calendar

Next year, the race will be organised directly after the summer for the first time. The ZLM Tour is known as a high-quality race that attracts top teams and leading riders. By staging the race in September, it will better align with the schedules of riders and teams, while creating space in the cycling calendar for an attractive week of racing. This increases the chances of securing a strong and appealing field of participants and delivering exciting sporting performances, especially in the build-up to the European and World Cycling Championships, which are also scheduled during that period.
