Heylen Vastgoed Heistse Pijl 2026 🇧🇪 (1.1) ME – Vosselaar – Heist-op-den-Berg : 187,5 km
Heylen Vastgoed Heistse Pijl is a UCI 1.1 classification that unfolds across the flat to gently rolling terrain of the Antwerp province in Flanders, where the roads weave through a patchwork of open farmland, industrial zones, and quiet villages. The course is deceptively technical, with narrow, winding roads that demand constant attention and precise bike handling, particularly through the tight corners and roundabouts that punctuate the route. While the gradients are modest, the race is far from straightforward, as crosswinds sweeping across the open plains can split the peloton into echelons, forcing riders to fight for position and shelter. The roads often narrow further as they pass through small towns, where cobblestone sections or sudden changes in surface texture add an extra layer of challenge.
The race dynamics are shaped by these technical and tactical elements, with attacks often launching on the rare rises or during moments of wind-induced chaos. The final kilometers typically feature a fast, technical run-in through the streets of Heist-op-den-Berg, where a reduced bunch sprint or a small breakaway group contests the line in a high-speed dash. The Heylen Vastgoed Heistse Pijl rewards explosiveness, tactical awareness, and the ability to read the ever-changing conditions, embodying the spirit of Flemish one-day racing in its purest form.
Rising young British rider Noah Hobbs (EF Education-EasyPost) stormed to his first professional victory at the Belgian one-day race Heylen Vastgoed Heistse Pijl on Saturday.
In a close-fought final charge for the line, Hobbs came out on top of the blanket finish, beating Søren Wærenskjold (Uno-X Mobility) and Milan Fretin (Cofidis) to the win.
Unibet Rose Rockets had control on the front for much of the run to the line in Heist-op-den-Berg, but the best they could manage was fifth on the line through Ronan Augé, with Arvid de Kleijn (Tudor) also pipping the Frenchman in fourth.
There was a crash 6km from the finish which ruled out some of the would-be sprint challengers, including Soudal-QuickStep’s Alberto Dainese.
