Cycling
Circuit Zolder and cycling, they go hand in hand…
…on one handlebar. Two world champions on the road were crowned: Harm Ottenbros and Mario Cipollini.
In 1979, 2002 and 2016, the Cyclo-cross World Championships were held on and around the circuit.
The Lotto BMX Track at Circuit Zolder has been one of the best in the world since 2008 thanks to a strong BMX club! Every year, two rounds of the BMX European Cup take place. In 2015 and 2019, BMX Zolder hosted the UCI BMX World Championships.
The Velodroom in Heusden-Zolder, which officially opened in October 2023, offers a wide range of new possibilities. With the facilities of this modern cycling track, international competitions can now be organised, which will further put Heusden-Zolder on the map as an important sporting centre. This new cycling complex not only offers opportunities for professional cyclists, but also for amateurs and local sporting events.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Velo-crossing, road cycling, BMX, endurance races… Major competitions and championships. The European Road Cycling Championships in September 2024 will be a nice addition to Zolder’s list of achievements, but they are by no means an exception. Van Aert, Van der Poel and other Cipollini… err, campioni. They are at home here.
