In the eyes of Belgian cycling fans the Tour of Flanders or Ronde van Vlaanderen as it's know locally is BIGGER THAN CHRISTMAS. They will be lining the roads in the tens of thousands to catch site of their heroes doing battle on the famous cobbled climbs and the impending contest between Mathieu van der Poel, and World Champion Tadej Pogačar has them salivating in anticipation.

Read on and we'll show you how to watch Tour of Flanders 2025 live streams from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.

The wait is over—it's time for the one and only Ronde van Vlaanderen, the day Flanders comes to a standstill to witness another legend etched into cycling history. The second of cycling's five Monuments, set on the iconic Hellingen, is the climax of what’s known as Flemish Holy Week.

This year, all eyes are on Mathieu van der Poel and World Champion Tadej Pogačar — whenever they clash, it's like a lit match in a box of fireworks. Lurking behind are contenders like triple Gent-Wevelgem winner Mads Pedersen, time trial powerhouse Filippo Ganna, and Belgian favorite Wout van Aert, hungry for redemption.

The 268km route features 16 cobbled climbs and 7 flat cobbled sections, including the Eikenberg, Koppenberg, Molenberg, and the brutal Oude Kwaremont, tackled three times. The final test comes on the steep Paterberg — just 13km from the finish —where the strongest will emerge.

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France. Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads. This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs, followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes, RIDE BRITAIN. Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running his 100 Climbs brand and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.
