The 2025 Renewi Tour, held from 20 to 24 August, is a five‑day WorldTour stage race in the Benelux region spanning 911 km. It kicks off with a flat opener from Terneuzen to Breskens, before two more stages through Belgium—Blankenberge to Ardooie and a decisive Aalter to Geraardsbergen stage featuring Flemish Ardennes climbs like the Taaienberg, Bosberg and multiple ascents of the famous Muur van Geraardsbergen—both crucial for the general classification.

On the fourth day, riders face a 175.7 km mountain-like stage to Kassel, with around 1,000 m of elevation and likely decisive attacks. The tour concludes with a 163.7 km flatter stage from Halle (Saale) to Magdeburg, opening with a punchy climb but expected to end in a fast sprint.
